Things get complicated when the ghost falls madly, deeply in love with the man's girlfriend. Soon afterward, the man discovers he did not die when he was supposed to because, for the first time, human beings have decided to take back their fates from the gods. It's a wonderful change, but one that comes at a price.
This truly magical book is about love, talking dogs, ghosts who happen to be gourmet cooks, picnicking in the rain with yourself at 20 different ages, and what happens to us when we become the masters of our own fate.

Critic reviews
Very Good read well woth the time.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I felt like the author was being a little too earnest in talking about life in relation to his characters, though. I don't always look for life lessons in my fiction.
The narrator was fine.
A little earnest, but entertaining

Ghost in Love Review
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It was actually a very funny book with a bunch of fleeting bizarre characters that were each very quirky and entertaining. Ben and German are very likable characters, and Pilot the dog is wonderful...
It is a pretty complex story so you really should pay attention but you will be rewarded with snarky comments and remarks that will tend to make you chuckle......the story will also get you caught up in thinking about what exactly was the most prolific and important moment in your life....the one you favor the most....then deciding if you would actually want to stay in that moment forever.
If you are looking for a story about a ghost that is in love or a paranormal romance....this really isn't that type of book. If you are looking for some very funny moments with some crazy people and animals.....then this is the book for you. I ended up enjoying this book much more than I thought I would and the narrator did a great job of switching between quite a few characters.
The title of this book does not really describe...

Also, the title and this line from the summary, "Things get complicated when the ghost falls madly, deeply in love with the man's girlfriend," have so little to do with the story that it would probably be better off left out entirely.
The first half of the book was pretty good and fairly gripping but it just seems to fall apart in the second half. I'm not sure if I'll read another of the author's books.
Rather Convoluted

I thought the narrator did a good job with most of the voices.
First Audible J. Carroll Book (hope for many more)

It does not, and you will not. The second half of the book is a steady slope downhill to some sort of insane understanding of personality/identity, and the end of the book is just stupid... (a philosophy text written by someone who's had too much to drink?)
The description and title are misleading... if you stretch your imagination, it's about a man falling in love (or at least coming to terms with) with the various aspects of himself, but the ghost falling in love is a very minor and almost unnecessary add-on to the story.
I did finish it, but only because I kept hoping it would make sense at the end... if it were a paperback, I'd have skipped to the end from the half-way point to see that it doesn't get any better, and then moved on to my next book.
A drunkard's philosophy text
