This book is all about death and loss - every aspect of it. I liked it but it definitely could be extremely triggering. Proceed with extreme caution

Different people, different ways to feel ghosts. The main character starts to taste food that he have never had since he is a kid. Once he realizes what they are and what he can do with it. He starts to unite the living and the death through food. But he doesn't know that there is a price with his gift. I didn't know that there were hungry ghosts!
I read the book the moment I received it but I started to get bored half way through the book and then it was like a rollercoaster: from 5 to 3 to 5. The ending was good but not great. I will recommend it to a lot of people because it's not scary but intense. Sadly not a 5star read for me.

I loved the idea of this book - really unusual idea that somebody could experience the memories of the dead through the aftertastes of their significant food experiences. I wanted more about the individual "ghosts"and their backgrounds, some of which seemed to be swept over quite quickly, and without enough wonder from the people experiencing the encounters with dead loved ones. The ending was unsatisfying for me and overall the book meandered in places. But it was a solid 3.5 stars and I enjoyed it, would recommend giving it a go!
