Wow! When this one was going around bookstagram upon its release, I was afraid to buy in to the hype. Well, that hype was well deserved. Beginning with a mysterious vibe about death, this novel immediately pulls you in and develops an interesting perspective on living. This gave me some similar vibes/themes to TJ Klune's Under the Whispering Door with its own ending that is spectacular. With most of this 290 page novel happening within the span of a second ;) there's little room to slow down the pacing. I could see this becoming a great movie some day, although I'm fine with just the novel for now.
