Seeing Other People by Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka (Dec 9, 2025) Thank you, @berkleyromance and @prhaudio for the #gifted copies! #berkleyromance #berkley #prhaudioinfluencer  If you love tender-hearted romances, you need to grab this one!

Zach and Morgan went on one date. ONE DATE. Which is why she finds it particularly infuriating that, upon his death, Zach’s ghost is haunting her. Zach isn’t happy about it either, but neither can figure out how to get him to move on. This conundrum is how they find themselves at a support group for the haunted and their ghosts and where they meet Sawyer. He has a different problem. The ghost of his fiancee is beginning to fade and he, five years after her death, isn’t ready to let go. They decide to help each other try to determine what unfinished business is holding there’s ghosts to the mortal plane. What follows is an achingly tender and heart-wrenching story about love, loss, grief, holding on, letting go, and living while you still can.

First, I fell in love with the cover then I read the description and was excited. Then I read and listened to this beautiful story. It is achingly gentle. You’ll fall in love with Morgan, Sawyer, and their ghosts as they navigate relationships – past, present, and future – as well as the physical and metaphorical razing, planting, and regrowing of their lives. The concept of Kintsugi, preparing broken ceramics with gold and leaving the cracks beautifully visible, is a recurring theme and an apt description for all of the characters at the conclusion of this delicate story.

🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: Brittany Pressley and Dan Bittner are absolutely perfect (I mean, do we expect anything less?) in this dual narration. (9h 45m)
