I too would buy a Russian fox for $18,000 if it wasn’t horrifically inhumane

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

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 enjoyed this. The writing is lovely. The structure and shifting narrators were really unique. There is a mystery angle to it and I didn’t see the twist at the end coming but my friend did so it is possible that I just wasn’t paying enough attention. Content warning: parent death and dementia.
