This book is a work of art. We need books like this. Books that take us by the hand and gently lead us through grief and pain with love and laughter. I look forward to meeting this characters again as they have secured their place in my heart forever.

This book is centered around the grieving process and some of the characters are ghosts. The details of their deaths vary between cause of death and how descriptive the author is of these deaths. All descriptions are handled gently and with compassion but remember to be gentle with yourself if you read this.
