This is such a sweet book. It reminds me of a combination of a man called ove and the good place. Excellent characters and it’s really a fun journey to take along with the characters. This is a great lighthearted read that’ll make you think.

What a delightful book.
This book is definitely comfortcore to the extreme and you tell that Klune was using this book to process his own grief. It's a fun a concept- basically ghost palliative care. It's got all the tropes of comfortcore- hot beverages, cozy vibes, forests. Here is a place where spirits have to deal with passing and moving on. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not. This is a nice meditation on passing and dealing with our own mortality and grief. Could make you cry, though, be careful.

So what you're doing and READ THIS BOOK!
Such a wonderful, funny and surprisingly heart-wrenching book! Very well written and I'm so mad that I didn't read it sooner. I loved it so much!!! Thank you, T. J. Klune!

From the very first page, I felt back at home in TJ Klune’s trustworthy hands (or, words. worlds? anyways). I absolutely adored the characters in this book, and thought the growth of our main character Wallace was so well done. Charon’s Crossing is not your usual tea shop, and i loved it as the setting for this book. Everything just came together so well, i have no notes. just that i adored this book and sobbed at the end, and i wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, almost especially to those who have had a loved one pass recently. it can be a hard read, but it’s so worth it. thanks tj <3
