Hi Sharon,

I hope you’re enjoying your summer so far! Fall is just around the corner, and I want to make sure that you keep YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT (Penguin Books; 9/22/26) by Katie Jung on your mind as you start planning fall coverage! Katie’s debut is a warm, funny, and heartfelt love story that is going to absolutely capture reader’s hearts!

When Libby Lakoski's lifelong crush (and best friend) announces he's marrying a British diamond heiress, the last thing she expects is to team up with his dead cousin to stop a generations-old family curse. But as Libby and the charming, infuriatingly handsome ghost Trip Coldwell race across New York City to save the Coldwell men from their bizarre taxi-cab fate, their growing attraction threatens to derail everything!

You can start reading YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT on NetGalley here. Physical galleys and PDFs are also available upon request.

The early reviews have been stunning and hilarious:

“A dazzling debut…You’re The One That I Haunt is the best romance I’ve read in years.”
—Kandi Steiner, national bestselling author of A Love Letter to Whiskey


You're the One That I Haunt is witty, sharp, and so damn sexy, especially considering the heroine can’t even touch her love interest. Palpable tension pulls you through the pages, and the mystery unfolds alongside the tender yet playful romance of Libby and Trip....An instant favorite!! Also, Trip has an earring and tattoos. (Please include this. It’s very important to me.)”
—Megan Murphy, author of Fake It Like You Mean It

“Libby leaps off of the page as a stunningly real and beautifully crafted character who I am rooting for from page one. And from the very first moment I met Trip, I fell under the spell of his slutty little earring. Between the magnetic draw of the two of them, this race to break a generational curse and heal trauma is steamy, funny, and absolutely un-put-downable.”
—Audrey Goldberg Ruoff, author of Hopelessly Teavoted

You're The One That I Haunt
 is the ideal romance debut: a slow-burn love story that crackles with chemistry combined with a page-turning mystery. Katie Jung had me swooning over and over again! If you're looking for your next cozy, feel-good read, this is it.”
—Tyler McCall, author of People Like You

Thanks so much for considering this for fall and for any spooky-themed coverage you may be planning! Additional information is below. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

 

Best,

Ivy
