Okay yeah this confirms that I just love this author. I love her sense of humor, it's very dark but in such a fun way, kinda like Jenny Lawson whom I adore. I learned so much and can't stop spouting random facts about death and dead bodies to people who absolutely did not ask me to do so but 🤷‍♀️ we should all get more comfortable talking about death, right? Also thank you to the kids who asked these great questions lol they're so cool before society ruins them 🫠

This book answers questions that all of us have probably had about death at some point in our lives. Caitlin Doughty is a mortician and content creator who dedicates her platform to making the world feel more comfortable with death and all that comes with it. I have always struggled with a lot of these concepts so reading this was outside of my comfort zone, but I found it extremely informative, accessible and even funny. The only reason why i didn't give it quite 5 stars is just because I would've liked some chapters to have more information.

vigil's review against another edition

this didn’t land with me as much as her other two books, (likely due to its aim towards a younger audience) but i enjoyed it just the same. i think taking a look at the table of contents (thank you for having one, my god) will be able to help you figure out if the book is for you. 

it features very graphic descriptions about death, corpses, and decomposition, but i figure you wouldn’t have picked this up for any other reason.
