What a beautiful, beautiful book. I knew that if anyone could tug on my heartstrings while also making me laugh hysterically it was TJ Klune. This exploration of loss and grief is done with such care, so full of hope and light, that it creates such an incredible healing atmosphere for both the reader and the characters. It is gentle, it is compassionate, and it is so wonderfully human.

 TJ Klune has done it again! He made me sob like no one's business. As someone who has a difficult relationship with death, this book ripped my heart apart and then stitched it back together. It was a good source of catharsis for me. I don't know how to explain how much I love his writing style. I will continue to read any of his adult fiction books! 425/10 will recommend and read again!
