A heartbreaking tale of an 18-year-old girl who attempts to keep her uncle's ghost in the earthly plane, but is forced to question what it means to let go when a hot college-boy barista brews his way into her life. —- "Death blinked into existence when Uncle Drew left. It’s never going to leave me now, and I’m never going to let it." When eighteen-year-old Kali applies for a part-time job at Tea for Two to spend every waking hour with the ghost of her recently deceased, Cheeto-loving, carefree Uncle Drew, she doesn’t expect Luca—the hot but aloof owner behind the counter—to offer her the job. She also doesn't expect to find him irresistibly cute. But she can’t afford to have Luca’s college-boy charm distract her when the landlord decides to demolish Tea for Two. Losing Uncle Drew’s haunt might just erase him from her life completely. And she can’t lose him—not again. Amid Uncle Drew facing his own demons, messy LEGO bricks, Kali’s best friends going to separate colleges, and her counting down the final days until her uncle slips from her fingers forever, can Kali truly learn what it means to move on, find love, and let go?
