The Regrets

"You don’t get to choose whom you fall in love with. That’s the lesson that Rachel, a young librarian living in Brooklyn, learns in this enchanting debut novel – she develops a big crush on Thomas, a handsome young man who, inconveniently, happens to be a ghost. Bonnaffons follows the couple as the two navigate their fiery relationship, and she handles the conceit beautifully. It’s a miracle of a love story, asking perceptive questions about the line between love and (literal) possession."
