This book felt like what would happen if Dead Like Me and The Good Place were mixed together and then served with a side-order of sentimentality. Which is to say I really loved it.

The book has a slow start, but the delivery of main character's struggles and inner monologue are written whimsically and humorous which is a great balance to the dark and heavy themes of the novel. The characters are all written well with great detail to each. The story's narrative is well encompassing of both predictable story progression and the pleasantly unexpected that pull you even deeper into the story being told.

Delightful. It's basically the same premise as Klune's other work, tbh: emotionally closed off man goes to a far away place, meets people who will change him, knows he can't stay. 

Everyone is incredibly good, of course. But it's still just a lovely book, and the ruminations on death and the afterlife are hopeful and healing. I loved it.
