Good Spirits by B.K. Borison: A Holiday Romance Book Review

Save this lovely romance for when you can curl up next to a crackling fire as snow falls outside your window and indulge.

I did not take my own advice, and instead started this book when I was in the middle of the rainforests of Belize.

It took me a minute to sink into the story since my brain could not calibrate the mismatch of vibes, but after some adjustment I got sucked right in.

Nolan is a Ghost of Christmas Past who spends his afterlife showing terrible humans the errors of their ways—until he’s assigned to Harriet, who is all peppermint and matching Christmas PJs and seems to utterly lack dreadful memories he can drag her through to scare her straight. In fact, Harriet seems to be lovely.

As the two figure out why they were paired up when she’s clearly not an Ebenezer Scrooge, they develop feelings that are as undeniable as Nolan’s unavailability—he’s still dead, Harriet’s still alive, and though I thought for a moment toward the end that he was sent to reap Harriet, that’s not the ending the author had in mind.

This book is perfect for those in the mood for a cozy holiday romance without too much anxiety or a third act breakup.

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the advance copy for review.
