Description
Two people haunted by their exes find that love isn’t dead in this heartfelt romance from the beloved authors of The Roughest Draft.
Morgan is being ghosted by her ex. No, really. It’s sad Zach died and became a ghost. But Morgan and Zach only ever went on the one date, and now she’s being haunted by him. Zach has no desire to spend eternity with Morgan, but he can’t recall his past and doesn’t know how to move on.
At a support group for humans and their haunters, Morgan and Zach run into Sawyer, whose fiancée-turned-ghost has started to fade. Unlike Morgan, Sawyer isn’t ready to part ways with his ghost. Although they face opposite issues, Morgan and Sawyer decide to work together to solve their problems.
As Morgan and Sawyer try to solve their paranormal conundrums together, they find something even more surprising—a tender, growing affection between them that threatens any unfinished business they’re seeking to close. The ghosts of their past might be there in spirit, but the connection between Morgan and Sawyer is as alive as anything they’ve ever felt.

Morgan wird geghostet - buchstäblich. Nach nur einem Date stirbt Zach und verfolgt sie seitdem als Geist, ohne zu wissen, wer er einmal war. Genervt von der Situation sucht Morgan Hilfe in einer Selbsthilfegruppe für Menschen und ihre Geister. Dort trifft sie auf Sawyer, der im Gegensatz zu ihr Angst hat, seine verstorbene Verlobte Kennedy für immer zu verlieren. Die beiden bemerken recht schnell, dass sie die einzigen sind, die wirklich Geister sehen können und entscheiden sich gemeinsam nach einer Lösung für ihre Probleme zu suchen. Ich hab genau das bekommen, was ich mir erhofft hatte: Den perfekten Mix aus Humor und Tränen. Wenn ich nicht laut gelacht hab, hab ich geweint - oder beides gleichzeitig. Ich hab mit jedem einzelnen Charakter mitgefühlt und sie so gern auf ihrem Weg begleitet - zueinander, aber auch (zurück) zu sich selbst. Das Buch zeigt auf ganz besondere Weise, was es heißt zu lieben, wirklich zu leben und loszulassen. Wie Sawyers Liebe zu Kennedy und sein Verlust dabei beschrieben wurden, hat mir mehrfach das Herz gebrochen. Eine Kleinigkeit, die mich „gestört“ hat, war, dass Morgan für mich weniger greifbar blieb als Sawyer. Hier hätte ich mir ein wenig mehr Einblick in ihre Vergangenheit gewünscht, um sie (noch) besser zu verstehen. Mein persönliches Highlight war aber eindeutig Zach: Er war so witzig und in genau den richtigen Momenten ernst! Ziemlich viele Lacher (und Tränen) gingen auf sein Konto. Ich denke immer noch an die Ouija Board Szene und lache laut. Absolute Empfehlung und meiner Meinung nach ziemlich underrated ☺️♥️
"Grief, I'm learning, is nothing but the cleverest of ghosts."
Seeing Other People by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka is a deeply emotional and quietly imaginative story that lingers long after the final page. At its core, it’s a novel about remembrance, love, and loss, but what makes it truly stand out is how it brings those themes to life in such a unique and literal way. I love the concept. It’s wonderfully original: being “ghosted” taken in the most literal sense, and it adds a layer of poignancy that feels both fresh and meaningful. The characters are truly the heart of the story. Morgan is instantly relatable, with her mix of frustration and resilience as she tries to make sense of everything happening around her. Sawyer carries a quiet, aching grief, and his enduring love for Kennedy is both heartbreaking and beautiful. Zach, the ex-hookup-now-ghost, brings a perfect balance of humor and sincerity, adding lightness without ever undercutting the emotional weight. And then there’s Kennedy, though she has limited page time, her presence is felt throughout. She’s the catalyst, the one who sets everything in motion, the “ghost” of the story in more ways than one. Watching these characters’ journeys unfold, toward each other and toward healing, is incredibly moving. The novel handles themes of loss and grief with remarkable sensitivity, especially through Sawyer’s struggle to move forward while holding onto the memory of someone he loves. There’s a beautiful emotional balance here. At times, the story had me laughing; at others, it left me teary-eyed; sometimes both at once. It’s rare for a book to capture that kind of emotional range so naturally. Ultimately, Seeing Other People is a touching exploration of what it means to love, to grieve, and to find the courage to keep living even when letting go feels impossible. It’s emotional, charming, and unforgettable, something I won’t forget for a long time.
