A really well written book, I would definitely read it again, it was just so beautifully written that I just couldn’t put the book down I needed to know how it all ended!

It was such a lovely read. I enjoyed it from start to finish, and was unprepared for how some moments of would make me ugly cry.

A wholesome book about death. Some parts were a bit sad, as you'd expect, but it's not a depressing read. 

I love the uniqueness of a main character who's a death doula, and Clover wasn't at all what I expected someone in that profession to be like. This book made me reflect on my own relationships and potential life regrets, as I think was the point. But it didn't feel preachy- just incredibly human. 

Several books I've read recently felt far too drawn out, but this one was perfect and really held my attention. If a slightly emotional, but still lighthearted read about someone who surrounds themselves with death learning how to truly live sounds like your cup of tea, then I'd highly recommend it!
