“Sweet and spicy and fabulous… Ivy Fairbanks is a terrific addition to the romance genre!”—Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer
“Fans of Abby Jimenez will love this fresh, tender, and deliciously spicy romance.”—Paige Toon, international bestselling author of Seven Summers
“Five stars. Morbidly Yours is my favorite kind of rom com. It’s funny, sexy, and smartly written, while also being deeply emotionally resonant. Lark and Callum are characters you’ve never seen before and that you’ll never forget.”—Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script
“[A] charming romance…Poignant and heartwarming, this is a quirky love story you won’t forget.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
“A delightful, wonderfully disastrous romp through love. Fans of the marriage-of-convenience trope will swoon—as did I!”—Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care
“This novel about getting a second chance at love, discovering your voice and finding hope and healing from death grew out of Fairbanks’ desire for comfort amid chronic illness…Through Lark, themes of death anxiety and grief are explored alongside self-confidence, advocacy and emotional fortitude. And with Callum, his stutter, social aversion and demisexuality are treated with both respect and mastery. Their story is much more than a romance, but one about embracing and honoring all the emotions that fill us through love and death.” — Creative Loafing Tampa Bay
“Adorable! Morbidly Yours is equal parts playful and poignant, as satisfyingly spicy as it is sweet. I dare you not to fall in love with Lark and Callum, an endearing, quirky grumpy/sunshine pairing who couldn’t be cuter.”— Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Only When It’s Us
“The setting is unique, and Fairbanks is admirably frank about death and grieving… Callum himself is an admirable hero, with impressive depths…This will appeal to readers who don’t mind some death in their “til death do us part.” –Publishers Weekly
“With Morbidly Yours, debut author Ivy Fairbanks delivers an enchanting friends-to-lovers romantic dramedy…Lark’s and Callum’s grief and reticence to fall in love anchor this lively first novel. Gaelic charm and a sweet, simmering romance, coupled with tender plot dilemmas driven by a well-drawn, small-town cast, lend hopeful buoyancy to the novel’s more serious themes.” –Shelf Awareness
“With a fantastic Irish setting; sensitive portrayals of demisexuality, grief, and workplace misogyny; and a sexy friends-to-lovers romance, Fairbanks makes an excellent debut.” –Library Journal
“Talk about a romance you haven’t read before–a shy, demisexual Irish mortician has to marry in order to keep his family business. Lucky for him, a Texan widow has just relocated to Ireland for work and moves in next door. The development of the relationship is emotionally perfect, and the chemistry is off the charts. It’s a funny, sexy, and completely heartwarming story.” — Annabel Monaghan on “Favorite Summer Beach Reads”, Parade
“Offbeat and atmospheric, Morbidly Yours is the perfect escape for anyone who likes their romances to feature multidimensional characters, a cozy plot, and quick wit. It’s utterly unique and I adored it.” —Tarah DeWitt, author of Funny Feelings
“Kudos to Fairbanks for creating a world where heartache and romance can co-exist. I laughed, I cried, I definitely swooned. Emotionally complex, wholly unique and absolutely wonderful—if you haven’t discovered Ivy Fairbanks already, you’re in for a treat!”— Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky
“I absolutely adored Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks. With a perfect combo of laugh-out-loud macabre humor and deeply tender moments, Fairbanks builds delicious tension before completely delivering on the “friends-to-lovers” promise. To top it all off, the vivid descriptions brought Ireland to life; I was ready to catch a plane to see the sights firsthand. I devoured this story full of heart and heat.” –Amber Roberts, author of Text Appeal
