First line: Get the hell out of here—
Why you should read this book: Deshi's older brother Wei suffers an accidental death while the two young men are fighting, so their parents blame Deshi for the loss of their golden child and direct him to obtain a woman's corpse before Wei's funeral in order to conduct a ghost marriage and ensure their boy has pleasant companionship in the afterlife. Unfortunately, while Deshi's parent's beliefs have their foundations in ancient traditions, they live in a modern world, and obtaining the appropriate body proves nearly impossible. Enter Lily Chen, young, beautiful, headstrong, curious, talkative and very much alive, but that situation could change quickly, and Deshi is under a lot of familial pressure to succeed in his mission.
Why you shouldn't read this book: Almost everything that happens before the last few pages is kind of bleak.
