Interesting story

I liked the story. Always interesting to explore how a ghost would interact with the living. In this case to solve the mystery of her death. Not sure why she would not have remembered it, but since no one really knows how all that stuff works anyone's idea is as good as anyone else's.

Loved it!

A fun bit of mystery and romance 💘! The MMC is not clear cut and that makes the story even more intriguing. Fast paced, and very enjoyable! I recommend it!
