I'm not sure if this book qualifies as a paranormal cozy mystery or a paranormal closed door (so far) mystery or a ghostly rom-com? In any case, what you must know if you decide to read this book is...
IT ENDS ON A MAJOR CLIFFHANGER SO GET THE SECOND BOOK WITH THE FIRST!
Seriously, I don't want you throwing your book around, so heed my words and get books 1 and 2 together. I got this book via my Audible subscription so I was able to get the next book before the end credits of the first book were done playing in my ears.
On to the story. I was drawn to this book because of the name. Delightful right? And the cover is gorgeous. Our main character Daisy wakes up one day and can see ghosts and spends an unusual amount of time not questioning why it is happening. But once you learn more about Daisy's character it is pretty clear she has put some major blinders on herself. She has a real knack for not questioning any of the things she should question and questioning things that are as they should be. So as a reader you are always a few steps ahead of Daisy, which worked out okay for me. I will say Daisy doesn't live up to the title, she is supposed to be 40 but she is written as someone in their late 20s--which is fine if the title would've been It's a Wonderful Quarter-Life Crisis.
I like the world-building and the secondary characters. I am going to read book two to get the answer to the cliffhanger and to see if Daisy lets the blinders fall off her mind. If you are thinking of giving this book a try, I highly recommend getting the audiobook, the narrator is delightful and this is a book that I don't necessarily think is one that you want carve out time to sit down and read when you can listen while you work or workout!
3 Stars!
