5.0

I will be thinking about this book for a long time. It'd equal parts devastating and beautiful, centering around dying, mourning, and family. I have never read a book that features a body farm, and it does so in such an interesting way. In a world still recovering from so much death, Nagamatsu paints a hopeful future based in community and love in all forms.
