How Not to Die Alone by Richard Roper

2.0

How Not to Die Alone is a story about grief, loss, and loneliness. I read this one over a matter of a few days and overall enjoyed it but did find it to be a bit predictable. The story follows Andrew, a forty-something single man, who works for the government going to deceased people's houses and searching for a next of kin. He is lonely and the people whose houses he searches are lonely and overall there was a lot of loneliness in this book! Luckily, a new coworker comes into his life and things start to turn around for him.

While I did find this one predictable, the characters were extremely likable and there was a bit of a twist towards the end that surprised me.
