The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo

 

Lin Lan has been asked to be a ghost bride. Her family used to be wealthy but is no longer. The loss of wealth means she has few prospects and this proposal might be her only chance. If she were to accept it she would be married to a dead man who died under mysterious circumstances. The thought horrifies her and the frighten increases as Lim Tian Ching starts to visit her in her dreams. Things become further complicated when she finds herself falling in love with Lim Tian Ching's very much alive cousin.

Lin Lan finds herself trapped in a ghost world and she needs to find her way out before she becomes one.

I had an incredibly difficult time reading this book. Had it not been part of a bookclub I would have DNF'd it. It is a bit slow however around chapter 30 things really pick up and the book gets more interesting. This isn't really the type of book I read which likely lead to it being a bit of a disappointing read for me.
