Definitely not my favorite Stephen King book but still one to remember. I admit I had to remind myself this is more of an allegory for death but towards the end it begins to make more sense.
I liked the homey feeling the book gave, another review on this app described it with the word ‘hallmark’ and I have to agree.

Some mentions of divorce but nothing too heavy, this story also does focus on weight and weight loss if that bothers anyone
