Death Gets a Boyfriend

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Death Gets A Boyfriend by Sophie Bonaste recently. It was very moving for what sounded like a humorous novella. I now understand why my answer to a question about my legacy is what won me the book. The story revolves around the Grim Reaper finally getting a boyfriend after 200,000 years alone. Although immortals are not supposed to get involved with humans, Death falls for what to him is a very special human, Tommy Neilson. The couple have to work through dealing with Death’s job, dating when Death is only visible to Tommy, and Tommy’s eventual death, among other issues. I did not see the ending to the story coming, and it was very touching. I’m always impressed by a writer who can combine humor with pathos, as Bonaste did beautifully in this novella. I look forward to her next adult title.
