Grave Talk is one of those books that you pick up on a whim, not really knowing what you're getting into—but by the end, you're deeply moved. The story follows two main characters as they navigate the heavy, painful journey of grief, and it’s a ride that’s both unexpectedly funny and profoundly heartbreaking.

The way the author balances humor with such raw emotion is incredible. One minute, you’re laughing at the quirky, sometimes absurd moments these characters share, and the next, you're holding back tears as they confront the weight of loss in ways that feel all too real. It’s a delicate dance between light and dark, and it captures the messiness of grief in a way that feels incredibly authentic.

What I appreciated most about Grave Talk was how it didn’t sugarcoat the process of healing. The characters feel like real people—complicated, flawed, and struggling to find their way forward. Their journey is full of unexpected moments of connection and personal growth, and you’re rooting for them every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a book that’s equal parts humor and heartbreak, Grave Talk is definitely worth picking up. It’ll stay with you long after you finish it.

I didn't like the humour in it, I thought it tried too hard and was a bit silly really.
