One weekend is all it takes for her to start thinking he might actually be the one - until he disappears. Except he doesn't stay gone for long. Dead and stuck on Earth, commitment phobic Ren has been assigned as Grace's spiritual advisor. And he can't move on until he's done "helping" her. Which would be easier for them both if Ren's idea of help didn't involve inserting himself into her life and insisting on finding her a date for her sister's wedding. Unfortunately, the longer he stays, the more complicated leaving starts to feel. A story about modern dating, messy romance, and the chaos of being ghosted... in more ways than one.
