This book made me truly reconsider the way I view death and the way I think about life and it’s cyclical experience. The highly intelligent (and funny) author wrote with a heartwarming and empathetic voice and I genuinely learned a lot.

I saw many of my concerns and thoughts about death reflected and answered in this book, and I was given lots more to ponder. Caitlin has a way of writing these things nonchalantly and straight to the facts, while mantaining an engaging and eerie, reflective vibe.
