This book covers a lot: death, grief, loss, regret, personal growth, depression, etc. It gives a beautiful perspective on life after death, finding your own family when yours has fallen short, and moving on when loved ones have passed.
This book was LONG. While I appreciate the themes that were explored, not much really happened. It was fairly repetitive. I can appreciate the story, but it could have been way better.

The book is centered around dead people and meeting people from all walks of life as they die in various ways - understanding and helping them process their dead and pass. Most characters are complicated and real with great detail of their emotions, feelings, and inner dialogue and they process their life and what happened to them or what they're currently going through.

While I loved all the characters, especially Apollo, I did feel the story was missing the depth that this subject requires and the story was a bit uneventful. I walked away understanding Wallace’s story and development, but not feeling moved. Another one I wanted to love, but felt a bit meh.
