Rules for Ghosting : A Novel

Rules for Ghosting is a spectacular and deeply moving debut novel written by the talented Shelly Jay Shore. Blending paranormal romance, queer Jewish family drama, and warmhearted comedy, this captivating story explores the complexities of identity, grief, and the undeniable power of community.

The story follows Ezra Friedman, a young transgender man and reluctant clairvoyant who has spent his entire life trying to escape his unique abilities. Growing up in a Jewish funeral home was complicated enough, especially with the judgmental ghost of his grandfather criticizing his every move. Desperate for a normal life, Ezra ran as far away from the family business as possible. However, when he loses his dream job and his mother announces she is running off with the rabbi’s wife, Ezra is forced to return to the chaotic world he left behind.

Plot Overview: Family Secrets and Spirits

Back at the Friedman Family Memorial Chapel, Ezra steps in to save the business from financial ruin. This means spending his days surrounded by spirits that only he can see. To make matters even more complicated, Ezra develops a massive crush on Jonathan, the handsome new funeral home volunteer who lives just downstairs. But Jonathan comes with his own haunting past—specifically, the ghost of his late husband, Ben.

Ben is unlike any spirit Ezra has ever encountered. He breaks all the spectral rules Ezra knows: he can speak, and he can move. As Ezra tries to keep his family together and prevent his heart from being broken, he learns that there are many different ways to be haunted. Throughout Rules for Ghosting, the narrative masterfully balances laugh-out-loud moments with tender, emotional depth as Ezra navigates his complicated love life and his extraordinary gift.
