A quirky little gem. Suzy Krause has delivered a charming tale filled with heart, humor, and a side of ghost. One house, one letter, three women, three stories. Mackenzie, Sunna, and Maude have nothing in common but their address. The three women Live on separate floors in the same house so when an anonymous letter arrives they are all convinced it is for them. The letter is an apology and all three women have someone in their lives that owes them an apology for leaving. The only clue in the letter is in regards to a meet up at some point at a local coffee shop. This leads to the threesome spending many days at the local coffee shop and in doing so really getting to know one another. Meanwhile back at the house things are going missing and bump in the addict. so who is the letter really for? And is there a ghost in the house?

This was such a fun and unique story. A little ghost story, a little romance, a little mystery, and a lot of friendship. Mackenzie, Sunna,and Maude were all so different from one another and in different places in their lives. I loved how they all came together and learn to appreciate one another. The ghost story elements of the book were a lot of fun and I really liked how it was resolved. All in all a delightful and peculiar tale.

After reading (and LOVING) the author's debut novel "Valencia and Valentine", I was extremely excited when Suzy offered me a chance to read an ARC of her second novel. That excitement was warranted because this novel was such a delight to read. It had everything that a good story needs: humour, mystery, and even instances which made you truly think about life itself.

Spanning across the life span, each of the main characters were vastly different but at their core shared some similarities between each other. I found each of these characters realistic and relatable in their own way and I think that's one of the most important things to take away from this novel. No matter your age or your life circumstances, there is someone out there that shares some of the feelings that you have. This was a story about friendships, relationships, the past, and not letting the past hold you back from the future you deserve. A life well lived means that there will be ghosts.

For me, this novel seemed to glide across multiple genres and I loved that aspect. At times, it would feel like a murder mystery or 'whodunnit' but there was also comedy, romance, and thought provoking instances surrounding life experiences.

Everything from the plot to the writing style fully captured me from the beginning to the end and I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

***Thank you to the author Suzy Krause for sending me an e-ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review***

"The ghost isn't the person; it's the feelings attached to the person."
This is a unique story of three ladies, so different in age, and life experiences. They have one thing in common- each has lost a relationship at one time.
They live in an old renovated home that is haunted! There are things missing, noises in the attic, and food taken from the refrigerator.
How does one get them out? Will anyone believe them?
This was a definite mystery with a comical twist that I enjoyed and read quickly to see how it ended.
I loved the closing and it was not at all what I expected!
Terrific!
