My Best Friend's Wedding meets Dead Romantics in 2026's must-read speculative romcom!

Who says romance is dead?

Libby Lakoski has started seeing ghosts.

Admittedly, it's not the worst thing that's happened to her today - that would be attending the engagement party of her best friend, Carter Coldwell, who she's secretly in love with. But it's definitely a close second.

And the ghost in question? Trip Coldwell, Carter's super hot, super annoying cousin, who's conveniently decided to haunt Libby until she helps to free him from the spirit realm.

Libby doesn't want to work with Trip, until he points out that his predicament has been caused by the infamous Coldwell curse that's hung over his family for generations - and will one day come for Carter too.

Desperate to save her best friend - and her chance at happily ever after - Libby agrees to help. But as she spends more time with the infuriatingly charming Trip, Libby soon realises she's being haunted by feelings for another Coldwell, too…

Praise for You're The One That I Haunt

A dazzling debut. Jung’s writing is clever, immersive, and wildly entertaining. The yearning and tension were off the charts and kept me reading long after I promised ‘just one more chapter.’ You’re The One That I Haunt is the best romance I’ve read in years

Kandi Steiner, bestselling author of A Love Letter to Whiskey

You're the One That I Haunt is witty, sharp, and so damn sexy, especially considering the heroine can’t even touch her love interest. Palpable tension pulls you through the pages, and the mystery unfolds alongside the tender yet playful romance of Libby and Trip....An instant favorite!!

Megan Murphy, author of Fake It Like You Mean It

Libby leaps off of the page as a stunningly real and beautifully crafted character who I am rooting for from page one. And from the very first moment I met Trip, I fell under the spell of his slutty little earring. Between the magnetic draw of the two of them, this race to break a generational curse and heal trauma is steamy, funny, and absolutely un-put-downable

Audrey Goldberg Ruoff, author of Hopelessly Teavoted

You're The One That I Haunt is the ideal romance debut: a slow-burn love story that crackles with chemistry combined with a page-turning mystery. Katie Jung had me swooning over and over again! If you're looking for your next cozy, feel-good read, this is it
