I truly don’t understand why the ratings for this book are so low. I found it beautiful and lovely. I’ve thought for a long time of how Americans don’t know how to properly grieve. This is an example of how it should be.

4.0

I fought finishing this book because I knew it would make me sad. There was an appropriate amount of dark humor to make one laugh/cry.

Living funerals seem like the way to go & this book was a good reminder to tell people how much they mean to you.

Thank you Net Galley & to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
