Oh wow, Steven Rowley just has a way at tugging on my heartstrings. I read The Guncle when it first released and I loved it, so when I saw his new release The Celebrants, I didn’t even read the synopsis, I just picked it up. 

This book made me feel alllllll the feels. It was very bittersweet - I smiled a lot, I laughed, I cried, a lot. Steven Rowley beautifully tackled grief and living through loss. I will forever pick up whatever he puts out!
