I overall really enjoyed this book despite some critiques. I loved the characters and ugly cried a lot. I do feel some level of disappointment about the ending and at times the storyline seemed all over the place but I loved the characters so much that it ended up evening out.

TJ Klune is such a beautiful storyteller who is able to build connection with his characters. I enjoyed this book and I liked the story and overall character development. It was a unique story and well narrated. Some parts, especially some of the parts with very heavy dialogue felt long and drawn out to me, but overall I enjoyed the read. 

Be prepared for sad and heavy parts throughout the story- it is all about death and grief, but there is a message of beauty and hope throughout.

Second book by TJ Kline and I really like his writing and the way he writes his characters. The characters are unique and lovable and the story was creative. It was an emotional book that balanced heavy themes with lighthearted moments throughout. I enjoyed the story and the development of the characters. Cerulean sea is still my favorite by this author but I liked this one a lot as well! Will read more TJ Klune in the future
