Overall Rating: 4.10

This book is about death and grief and sometimes shitty dudes can change. It had such a banger of an opening. Wallace Price is a partner at his firm and someone makes a little mistake once and he fires her. The Next day he is dead...of a heart attack. 

The story follows Wallace as he's a ghost who needs to pass on and the goings on at Charon's Tea shop. 

TJ Klune's humor really makes this book as well as the chararter work. It makes me want to continue to reading Klune!

I loved this book so much, it's crazy. The characters were spectacular. The writing was immaculate. The romance was sublime. I laughed out loud (many times), cried, and felt like a brand new person after finishing it. It has such a message to it; that even when death separates us, there is always something more coming. This entire life (and death) is just a journey that we take. It was the sweetest book ever, and I would so, so, so recommend reading it. If you love cozy vibes and adorable characters, you will love this book just as much as I did.
