Rules for Ghosting
Rules for Ghosting
Shelly Jay Shore's warm and witty debut, follows Ezra, an anxious trans man and reluctant clairvoyant who must embrace the gift he long ignored in order to save his messy Jewish family's failing funeral home - and his own chance at a love story. Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston, Talia Hibbert and Kristen Arnett.
Part ghost story, part Jewish family epic, and part romance, Rules for Ghosting is a meditation on life, death, and healing that is at turns bitingly funny and deeply moving - Anita Kelly
Rule #1: They can't speak. | Rule #2: They can't move. | Rule #3: They can't hurt you.
Ezra Friedman can see ghosts - which made growing up in a funeral home complicated, especially with his grandfather's ghost giving disapproving looks at every choice he makes from his taste in boyfriends to his HRT-induced second puberty. It's no wonder that since moving out, he's stayed as far away from the family business as possible.
But when his dream job disappears and his mother uses the Passover seder to tell everyone she's running away with the rabbi's wife, Ezra finds himself back in the thick of it at the funeral home.
Having agreed to help out, Ezra must face not only his loved ones, but also his crush on Jonathan - the handsome funeral home volunteer who also happens to be his new neighbour - and Jonathan's ghostly relative, who is breaking every spectral rule Ezra knows.
As he tries to keep his family together and his heart from getting broken, Ezra will soon realise there's more than one way to be haunted...
