'The Dead Romantics' by Ashley Poston is our 'GMA' Book Club pick for July

“The Dead Romantics” by Ashley Poston is our “GMA” Book Club pick for July.

Poston’s latest novel follows Florence Day, a ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry. But after a break-up, Florence said she no longer believes in love.

When her new editor won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. Around the same time, a phone call she receives forces Florence to return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father.

Even though Florence has missed the town that she said has never understood her, including its warm Southern nights and her eccentric family, she can’t bring herself to stay. That is, until he meets a ghost at the funeral parlor’s front door, who is just as confused about why he’s there as she is.

“It’s a ghost story. Not only is it a ghost story, but it is a ghost romance. So it’s a little bit sexy and a little bit fun and a little bit swoony… and a lot dead,” Poston told “GMA.”

“It is my ode to romance novels -- all of them,” Poston added. “I am a connoisseur of romance and if you are too, I really hope you find some joy in ‘The Dead Romantics.’ Happy reading!”
