I did not see the ending coming. The relationships are wonderful. I’m not a die hard fantasy reader and still loved this book. Xaden 🥰

I adored this book. I laughed out loud at parts and was teary eyed at others. The concept of living funerals was genuinely heartwarming and I am attached to each one of these characters’ stories.

This book follows an author after her friend dies. I could not stand the main character but found myself hoping for her to change for the better at times.
