AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"The perfect alchemy of romance, humor and quirky originality."—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year and The Good Part
A clever con woman must convince a skeptical, sexy farmer of his property's resident real-life ghost if she's to save them all from a fate worse than death, in this delightful new novel from the author of Mrs. Nash's Ashes.
Fake spirit medium Gretchen Acorn is happy to help when her best (read: wealthiest) client hires her to investigate the unexplained phenomena preventing the sale of her bridge partner’s struggling goat farm. Gretchen may be a fraud, but she'd like to think she’s a beneficent one. So if "cleansing" the property will help a nice old man finally retire and put some much-needed cash in her pockets at the same time, who's she to say no?
Of course, it turns out said bridge partner isn't the kindly AARP member Gretchen imagined—Charlie Waybill is young, hot as hell, and extremely unconvinced that Gretchen can communicate with the dead. (Which, fair.) Except, to her surprise, Gretchen finds herself face-to-face with Everett: the very real, very chatty ghost that’s been wreaking havoc during every open house. And he wants her to help ensure Charlie avoids the same family curse that's had Everett haunting Gilded Creek since the 1920s.
Now, Gretchen has one month to convince Charlie he can’t sell the property. Unfortunately, hard work and honesty seem to be the way to win over the stubborn farmer—not exactly Gretchen's strengths. But trust isn’t the only thing growing between them, and the risk of losing Charlie to the spirit realm looms over Gretchen almost as annoyingly as Everett himself. To save the goat farm, its friendly phantom, and the man she's beginning to love, Gretchen will need to pull off the greatest con of her life: being fully, genuinely herself.
"A sincere and sincerely funny romance."—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
“Sarah Adler nails the ultimate rom-com alchemy.”—Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake

Story
Millicent Watts-Cohen is on a mission.

But Millie’s determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before it’s (really) too late—and hopefully reassure herself of love’s lasting power in the process.

Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her, in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

"Hilarious! This is exactly the kind of rom com I love to read—the perfect alchemy of romance, humor and quirky originality. Gretchen is now one of my favorite heroines. This book is going to be huge."—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year and The Good Part
"Happy Medium is a sincere and sincerely funny romance populated by a higher-than-average number of goats and ghosts. I stayed up late to finish it, and fell asleep smiling."—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
"With voicey narration and whip-smart humor, Sarah Adler has concocted a delightfully original screwball romcom. This book had me at “fake medium helps a goat farmer with a ghost problem” — yes, please, and thank you."—Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Strong start, rough finish
I can give my review in a simple rhyme;
started strong, then went wrong, lasted too long.
If you read the summary, you realize this should be a slightly campy, rom-com. There are goats, ghost and romance. The makings of a good story. The story started strong. There was good mix of comedy and romance. Good interplay between characters. The last 1/3 of the book goes limp. All charm of the first 2/3 is lost and the story falls flat and drags to the finish. I think the author makes a mistake of trying to introduce more complex themes the books doesn’t need. Mental health is shoehorned into the story in several places and just doesn’t advance the story at all. I enjoyed the plot to start but when all the fun and campiness goes away it becomes a very flatline story with unbelievable dialogue and character decisions. Chop off the last 2.5 hours and it’s a 4 star.

Ghost meets goat farm!
Mrs. Nash’s Ashes wasn’t a fluke: Sarah Adler can write! This book was smart and thoughtful, interesting and funny, touching and romantic. Everett was a hoot, and the Ghost meets goat farm premise was unique and fun. Narrator was terrific too.

Needing to be on a goat farm asap
It was cute, it was romantic, it was sad, and everything in between. Don’t ask me why a book about a haunted goat farm was one of my favorite reads of the year, but it was. The character development is pretty slay for a romance book, and I found myself genuinely enjoying every one of the characters mentioned and hoping for the best outcome for each one of them. Also, there was little to no miscommunication with the main characters, so that immediately makes it top notch for me. 10/10, would recommend.

Sophomore Slump
After reading Mrs. Nash's Ashes last month and absolutely ADORING it, I was super excited for Happy Medium to come out so I could experience some of Sarah Adler's particular brand of joy once more.
Happy Medium ended up not being what I thought/expected it to be. I somehow thought it would be both more and less supernatural than it ended up being. Which, I know sounds strange, but I was just going based on the synopsis and cover vibes. The ghost character was both annoying and heartwarming, which maybe was the intention?
I don't think the MMC and FMC had any real chemistry, definitely not even close to what the main characters in Mrs. Nash's Ashes had. They sizzled whereas these characters could barely manage to light a spark.
At the end of the day, I was also bored throughout a good portion of this book. It felt like the same conversations and repeated events. I don't even want to talk about the slightly icky sex scene was it felt like she was coerced into revealing her secrets to him (at least that's what it felt like to me). A tad disappointing at the end of the day.

A bit slow
Really enjoyed MNA - the characters felt well developed and the road trip added plot momentum. Was happy to give HM a shot despite the premise seeming a bit of a stretch. The paranormal relationship in HM had the better chemistry/banter than the human relationship, which was distracting, and the plot dragged in parts. The audio performance was good!

Perfection!
this was my first ever rom com read and I'm so glad I jumped in with this book first. it was delightful, genuinely funny, and heartwarming. throw in a touch of spice and a WONDERFUL narrator, and you've got a recipe for a great read.

Fun cute read
I loved this book. It had such hallmark vibes but with a paranormal trust! The narrator was also amazing.

3.5 stars
This may be better physically read rather than listened to. Though I love Mara Wilson and her name was the deciding factor in my using a credit on this, I now know that she doesn't differentiation between characters very well. It's a fun enough story but I wish I got to know more about the MMC thoughts. This would've been better if it had a dual POV.
