The Proposal (The Mediator, #6.5)
Meg Cabot
The last place Suze Simon expects to find herself during Valentine’s Day is a cemetery. But that’s what happens when you’re a mediator – cursed with the “gift” of communicating with the dead. That’s how Suze has ended up at the graves of a pair of NCDPs - Non-Compliant Deceased Persons – whose drama didn’t end with death. It’s Suze’s job to make sure they move on—for good. But the NCDPs aren’t the only ones with problems. The reason Suze is spending her Valentine’s Day with the undead instead of her boyfriend, Jesse, is because he’s having so much trouble adjusting to life after death . . . not surprising, considering the fact that he used to be an NCDP himself, and now his girlfriend busts his former kind for a living, while he tries to cure his kind of what used to ail him. Can Suze use her mediating skills to propose a mutual resolution, and bring all these young lovers together - including Jesse and herself - especially on the night Saint Valentine declared sacred to romance? Or will she end up alone—and possibly undead—herself?

"I’m Suze Simon, I said. And you thought being dead was bad? Buddy, your eternal nightmare’s only just begun."
Damn, I missed this series. I love Meg Cabot's simple, sarcastic and funny writing and I love Suze's character. I'm so glad we're getting a final book, even though I thought book 6 was a perfect conclusion to this series. This novella was actually a preparation for the final installment, with the returning of our ghost-ass-kicking protagonist and Jesse, her hot not-dead-anymore boyfriend (who is even more amazing here than I remembered). We got to see what became of her as she grew up, as well as the fate of some of the characters we came to care for in the main series. The plot is simple and familiar here, with ghosts giving Suze some grief and her real life problems also blending in with her mediator stuff and making her crazy. And then, there's the event that we've been waiting the whole series: Jesse's proposal and the beginning of their happily ever after. AND the big bomb at the very end, that sets the stage for the seventh and final book with the return of one of the most interesting and annoying antagonists of the main saga. I can't wait to pick up the end book and get into this universe again!
