Synopsis: 

Thirty-two-year-old Richard Franchitti didn’t believe in love at first sight until he met free-spirited Catherine and started a brand new life. A devoted father and husband, Richard fought to keep his family together when it would have been easier to walk away.

Tragedy left him with unfinished business.

Now a disembodied spirit, Richard relives his most important days. From the beginnings of unconditional love, to the joy of his daughter’s birth, and all of the difficult times in between, each treasured moment brings him closer to answering the question:

“Why am I still here?”

He was born Richard Franchitti, but his friends call him Ricky. Welcome to his funeral.

Renee's Review

I was given this book from the author in exchange for a fair review. (thank you!)

When the person over the blog that I submit my reviews to ask me to review this book, I was like...ugh it's kinda paranormal isn't it? I don't do anything paranormal, ever. I read Twlight, but that is as much as paranormal as I ever got. Jude was like, noooo, not really. So, I went into this book with a preconceived notion that I wasn't going to like this book. I read a little bit. oh, great he is a ghost! Ugh!! Wel

I read a little bit. oh, great he is a ghost! Ugh!! Well, if you know me (which you probably don't)I do not leave a book unread, especially if someone is counting on me, plus this was going to broaden my genre. So, it's Halloween night, spooky right, good time for a ghost book, I start to really read this book. To my surprise and delight, this is a romance novel, now we are talking. Jude knows how much I love my romance novels, what a good friend!

Funeral With A View by Matt Schiariti proves to me that not only can not judge a book by it's cover but not by it's genre either. This is one of the best love stories. At times, the characters made me want to throw my kindle across the room for being so stupid, and others they were so sweet and loving, I was cooing (no joke). This book goes through Rick's and Cat's relationship, all the ups and downs. From beginning to the end, you travel along as Rick remembers all the important stuff. While he is trying to figure out why he is still here on Earth or in this Realm. (See I don't know the jargon here, so please excuse me.

I loved this book, I wanted to know these characters and be their friends. He brought them to life for me, well almost all of them... heehee. I cried at the end of this book, which surprised me too. It made me teary eyed and I was not prepared for that! I'm now a fan at least of Matt's here, but can't say I can accept the whole genre... it scares me and I have to sleep alone too often!
