Before the coffee gets cold but dark and problematic. The story’s premise of bringing the dead back to life in poor young bodies is interesting. However, some of the ideas presented in the book about being placed into a different body and the persons sexual identity changing is problematic and labelling a character who lacks morals as autistic is unnecessary and damaging. If these elements were not in the book I would have enjoyed it.
