4.75
I'm usually not one to read sad books, but this book manages to balance discussing the inevitability of death without being overly depressing. I even laughed a bit while reading. It's a quick read and the only reason why it's a 4.75 instead of a 5 is because the plot is predictable. Rather than thinking "What happens next?", I often thought "How will he write this part next?". Despite that, it was still a good read for someone who wants something more reflective without fighting your feelings at every page.
Moderate: Animal death, Terminal illness, Death of parent, and Death
