This book hits differently once you've experienced death. I guess... don't know, I haven't read it without that context tbf, but hey, the logic adds up 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Get ready to feel the feels, and to appreciate life on a new level. There's nothing like a wake-up call to get you there, even when it's fictional and vicarious.

Digestible vocabulary, length and (my paperback copy - the only version out there? 🤔) has a nice text to space ratio + nice font type and size. 

One of those reads that aren't super high-effort to pick up but rather a read you seek out every opportunity to escape into. Oh the pleasure of an affair with a good book 📕
