A beautifully funny and deeply moving contemporary queer romance with a magical twist, the perfect next read for fans of TJ Klune and Ashley Poston.

After a brutal assault left eccentric artist Micah Wildsmith struggling with PTSD and extensive facial scars, he grapples with a new fear of leaving his home. When his sanctuary is interrupted by loud 80s synthpop and shadows where there shouldn’t be, he’s convinced his apartment is haunted by the deceased previous resident, Cosmo. One night, Cosmo’s form materialises out of nowhere, and Micah is more charmed than frightened. But when Cosmo's ghost disappears without a trace, Micah is determined to lure him back.

Dramatic, unconventional, and very much alive, Cosmo Koslov mourns his old self. His boyfriend’s a serial cheater, he’s continually passed over for a promotion at work, and he’s lost contact with his best friend. To make matters worse, his apartment is being haunted by the ghost of a bespectacled man with an eye socket of scars. It's his last straw, and seeking a new start, Cosmo moves out.

When Cosmo and Micah cross paths again, there's no denying the chemistry between them. But the phantoms of their pasts still linger. In order to find a future where they can both be happy together, Micah and Cosmo need to confront their trauma once and for all.
