The Celebrants by Steven Rowley
3.0
emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The characters lacked chemistry which really took me out of this really great story. The idea of a living funeral and understanding the impact you’ve had on others lives is so beautiful, but I do not think any of them were very well executed. There was so much focus on the adventure getting to the living funeral and the event felt like an afterthought. Also very oddly organized.
