OH I LOVED THIS BOOK. I had read one of Klune's other books this year, too, and my friend strongly suggested I read this one, so I lent it from her... BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. Genuinely one of my favorite books; the writing was so strong, all of the main characters were likeable and unique while being relatable and imperfect, and also GHOSTS!!! I am such a huge fan of paranormal stuff already, but this sort of idea about the afterlife is so original and I absolutely loved it. My only complaint was Wallace and Hugo's relationship seemed sort of rushed into, but it played itself out well, especially towards the end. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS!

This book is beautiful: haunting (sometimes quite literally), aching with longing, and filled with lessons about the true importance of life.

If you're a hypochondriac and has death anxiety like me, it will be difficult getting through this book at first, but I'm a Klune fan so I knew I would enjoy it eventually. About halfway I could finally get into it properly and the rest of the book flew by. I cried and cried and cried and now I'm tired but satisfied. I loved the characters, the scenery and the message, a beautiful book about grief and acceptance and family.

4.5

 Is this a 4 or 4.5?
This was a cozy book (don't mistake that for an easy read - it is absolutely not), with the cutest tea shop, heartwarming characters and lovely writing. When I read the last chapter, I was quite surprised that I hadn't shed a single tear, because this book is quite sad - but still hopeful. Then I read the epilogue and bawled my eyes out... so there is that.
I think what might bring this down to a 4 for me, is how the characters ended up. I think I would have preferred a different ending, I thought this was maybe a little too "easy".
And then again is this a 4.5? I think so!
