Ashley Poston’s standalone novels have made her one of the most popular romantic comedy writers working today. The Dead Romantics (2022) follows a ghostwriter who literally sees ghosts. The Seven Year Slip (2023) involves a time-bending apartment in New York. A Novel Love Story (2024) sends a bookworm into the fictional town of her favorite series. Each blends romance with a high-concept fantastical premise.
Among the Beasts and Briars (2020) was Poston’s first standalone, a YA fairy tale that showed her early interest in genre-blending. She also wrote Hawkeye: Bishop Takes King (2023), a Marvel tie-in novel featuring Kate Bishop. Her newer titles, Sounds Like Love (2025) and The Someday Garden (2026), continue the pattern of mixing love stories with imaginative premises.
Poston’s books have become regular picks for book clubs and BookTok recommendations. She writes quickly, releasing a new novel almost every year since 2022. Readers who pick up any one of these standalones will find a complete story that doesn’t require familiarity with the others.
