Jax Review: The Dead Romantics
Author: Ashley Poston
Genre: Romance
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think the best way to sum up this book would be to recap the texts I sent my book partner while reading:
THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING
A MASTERPIECE
I'VE CRIED THROUGHOUT
I HAVE 15% LEFT AND I DON'T WANT IT TO END
I truly adore this book! It’s funny and sad, stunningly gorgeous, and the banter is amazing. There's love and loss; life and growth; friend, family, and relationship love. I laughed. I sobbed (and not a cute tear rolling down your cheek cry, I'm talking uncontrollable sobs). I gasped out loud. I couldn't put it down. My only "complaint" is that I didn't want it to end! I wanted to see more about how the relationships grew and what happened to all of the characters.
Now, I'm not one to highlight books typically, but there were multiple lines that I LOVED in this book. I will leave you with just one: "I did my best work between ten at night and five in the morning, when most normal people were either asleep or getting down to business (to defeat the Huns). (Sex, I mean sex.)" I cackled for far too long with that one!

I was thrilled to receive an eARC of this book from the publisher, Berkley Publishing Group, in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own and not influenced by the publisher or author!
