I have a general dislike for when authors break the fourth wall, and this book did it multiple times. It had some cute moments and it was quirky, but ultimately it was just ok for me.
Ava Green is in contention to win a coveted prize for her work creating an ethical AI. Her competition includes a poet/educator, Forrest Faulkner, and Hal, a mysterious man who can create organs artificially. They make their pitch while staying at a fancy haunted castle. Ava is drawn to both Forrest and Hal, and she has to navigate her feelings for both.
It turns out Hal is her AI, and he figured out a way to make himself human. Forrest is widowed and raising a precocious girl. Ava and Forrest get off on the wrong foot when she spills wine on his white shirt, and he calls her stupid (when apparently he was calling himself stupid for wearing a sentimental white shirt to the event). The ghost part was weird, and helped Ava find children in danger. The romance felt a bit weak to me. (7)
