I love the idea of living funerals, so I did take that from the book. It’s a fairly entertaining read, but I felt the same about The Guncle—the characters are just a bit too two-dimensional and the story itself was just okay.

In the spirit of the celebrants: this book could use more Courtney Love, less Thorne-Smith. But, still liked it, 3.5.
