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.
