Really surprised by how much I loved this - not usually my genre but I ended up devouring this in a day. The family and funeral home parts were so delightful quirky and heartwarming all at the same time. I was expecting it to go creepy or dark but it didn’t at all. I loved the love story and happy ending. I also really loved the mother character. Would have been a 5 star read for me if not for the two sex scenes and some sexual language throughout - not for me. But overall, very happy I took a chance on this one, it was such a fun way to spend the day.

This book has been on my physical TBR for almost 2 years and I finally read it! You know when you’re waiting to read a book because you just know you’re going to love it and you want to savor it? Yeah, that was me with this book. This was SO GOOD and I’m actually glad that I waited until now to read it, because I don’t know that I would have appreciated it as much 2 years ago. The narration for this audiobook is also *chef’s kiss* so props to the narrator!

One of the best books I’ve ever read- excellent plot twists, charming setting, strong characters, incredible main characters with amazing witty banter, LGBT+ representation (supporting characters), iconic Bestiehood, insightful, inspiring, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once!

A 4 star read simply for giving me the ending I’d hoped for, and the ending the characters deserved. The characters are well developed, diverse, relatable and lovable. The book covers romantic love, platonic love and family love. A cheesy romance for a couple laughs, a couple of tears, even a few twists and a whole heap of love.
