a book that manages to be both profound and light, tackling big ideas with a sense of humor. It's an unusual, funny, and deeply weird story—in the best way. This novel stands out as something different, and its unique charm is what will make it memorable.

This book is super weird.

Tom is insufficiently dead. He is returned to earth to complete the process of dying. There are a bunch of rules to follow including refrain from romantic entanglements and sex. So of course he engages in both.

This isn't a romance; this isn't even a love story. I actually couldn't begin to tell you what this story is about. All the relationships are unhealthy, toxic, abusive, manipulative. This book was not for me. I picked it up because I was intrigued by the premise, and I got drawn in by Tom's beautiful introduction. The end was confusing and anti-climatic. I finished the book but my interest couldn't be sustained throughout.

Thanks to Libro.FM and the publisher for the complimentary copy.

Interesting story, marred by tonal inconsistencies.
