Annie Hartnett writes about death with levity and a sense of humor. This book made me think about death and afterlife in a new way, and gave me a greater appreciation for the flaws that make humans human. Also, lots of animal/pet content in this book! Dogs, foxes, bears, boars, birds, etc
Content Warnings
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, and Animal death

Never has a book made me cry in one paragraph and laugh in the next. Wish there was more payoff and explanation for why E.H.B. was able to/decided to haunt Cliff Starling in particular.

I really loved this book. It was heartwarming while dealing with some tough topics. I felt the characters had depth and also transformed for the better by the end. It was funny, insightful, and just so enjoyable to read.
