This book made me cry. This was such a reflection on life and death, and what makes a life well lived. And acceptance and grief and all of the above. I absolutely loved this book—it made me laugh and cry and just think about my life and the lives and deaths of those around me. My favorite book of the year so far—TJ Klune is a phenomenal author that deserves more acclaim.

This is my second read by TJ Klune and I am blown away by the writing. I typically prefer plot-driven stories, but Klune writes such wonderful characters in the most creative of settings that I would read almost anything he writes. This book is about death and if you choose to read it, prepare to cry and cry and cry but also love every second of it???

I had a hard time getting hooked on the audiobook, although the premise was really creative. Maybe I’ll try rereading with the physical book.

This is the first book to make me cry in quite some time. It’s hard to imagine a book so centered around death and grief to be so vibrantly colorful and comforting, but TJ Klune has done it. While some plot points felt predictable, the book leaves you attached to multiple characters. It’s an easy read that can leave you feeling all kinds of emotions.
