This book balanced lightheartedness and humor with deep grief so perfectly. I've genuinely never laughed so much while reading a book, and there have been very few pieces of media of any form that have elicited the same amount of well-earned and satisfying tears from me. 

Finishing this book was hard because I both wanted to know how it ended and loathed the idea of it being over. I appreciate the twists in the story and how earned they felt. They didn't exist for cleverness or because of lazy writing, they existed because the characters made decisions that warranted them. 

The cast of characters was truly wonderful. Their antics and their support of each other are equally valuable. The questions they pose and the answes they offer are healing. And even the minor characters have a presence many main characters in other books never reach. 

I will say that there are some hard storylines for those who have experienced different kinds of trauma. But as someone who's lost family and friends to similar circumstances, I value the care given to these stories. And, as someone who lost their mom just over 6 months ago, I will say that this isn't something that's too heavy. At least it wasn't for me.

den eneste grund til at jeg ikke synes at den her bog var perfekt er fordi jeg havde de sygeste feberdrømme en nat da jeg var halvvejs med at læse den hvor jeg var Wallace der skulle hjælpe en lille fransk pige der var død i en bilulykke i bussen med hendes fodboldhold og jeg var nødt til at forklare hende at hun var død på fransk på trods af at jeg altså ikke taler flydende fransk. klarede mig ret godt hvis jeg selv skal sige det alligevel, men det var en stressende omgang. Eksempelsætming: “tu es aussi morte que moi”

hvis du er bange for at dø er denne bog for dig, hvis du har lyst til at dø er denne bog for dig, hvis du har et afslappet forhold til døden er denne bog for dig. hvis du er i live er denne bog for dig. læs dog lige content advarslerne inden :)
