I liked this book about a group of longtime friends who - after losing a friend at 22 - make a pact to celebrate each other’s lives while they are living.

Rowley’s books are sentimental and explore grief, but with levity and humour to balance out the sadness. I liked The Guncle more but this was worth reading. It was a good reminder to live life to the fullest and tell people what they mean to you.
