Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

3.75

In a lot of ways this was not your run of the mill, straightforward rom-com: it tackled guilt, grief, death, anxiety, had nuanced relationships and showed life can be kinda messy and still good.
Loved the representation: a demisexual, stuttering, deeply empathetic introvert mmc with social anxiety was so incredibly refreshing!
So many funny, and meaningful moments. Loved the mechanics behind their professions (mortician + animator!) and fell head over heels in love with Callum within the first few chapters.
It lost me a bit in the second half, because some of the things that happened just weren't for me personally
singing/serenading in books always gives me the ick, some cheesy scenes/inner monologues, how some things were handled
but there were also so many aspects to of this I loved so I think 3.75 ⭐️ is still fair. The ending was really sweet and I can‘t wait to read Cielo's story next.

If you like a shy + dirty talking mmc, spicy spice, a beautiful Irish landscape, unconventional love stories, and giggles: this is for you!

🎧 great narration, loved the accents!
