Warning this book will make you cry. I honestly don’t know the last time a book made me cry this hard or this long. I had tears in my eyes for the final few chapters, it also made me laugh out loud at multiple points. 
I wouldn’t  have picked this book if not for my book club but god damn I’m glad I read it.

If the death of an infant, long thoughts about death/ the afterlife, and the death of beloved ones is too much for you, this is not your kind of book. If the topic of death in general is not your thing steer very clear of this book.
