After finishing this book earlier today I had to take some time to calm my emotions before I could write this. It's a beautiful story and TJ Klune is a master at explaining all sorts of complicated emotions related to tough subjects like death, grief and suicide, but also love and friendship, all with a pinch of humour. The last 100 pages I spent weeping (the ugly kind with snotty nose), alarming my husband, who thought something had happened.
This was the first novel by this author and I will definitely be reaching for others in the future.

Este libro está lleno de reflexiones bonitas para la vida. Es un recordatorio de lo que en realidad importa y lo que es la esencia de nuestra existencia, en medio de todo lo que demanda nuestra atención en la vida diaria. 
Lo único que no me permitió disfrutarlo al máximo fue la traducción. Muy mala. Si pueden leerlo en su idioma original, háganlo.
