10 out of 5*s!! GO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!
If you're thinking, what should I read next? Pick this. If you're thinking you should read "insert title here", toss that book to the side & read this instead. This book was so freaking good I hate that I didn't pick it up sooner but am so excited that I finally got the chance to read it. I love love loved this book, the characters, the storyline, the narrators for the audio. My God I felt every freaking feeling in this book. You're going to laugh, and cry, and feel love like you've never felt. I read so much & never feel like books hit me in the emotions, but this did it. I felt them all & now I need to recover from it.

Positives. This book is really charming and great if you need a light, comforting read. The premise is original, the characters funny and the ending unequivocally happy. Furthermore, the way grief is portrayed is beautiful and well-written.

Negatives. The author really tries to give the characters interesting and grounded personalities as this allows you to empathize more with them. However, where she fails -I think- is in translating personality into action. We are told over and over again how certain characters should be but their actions (while oftentimes in line with their personality) are understated and disproportionate to the circumstances they find themselves in.

This is the first book I've ever read that deals with parent loss in a way that I found real/relatable. The book isn't really even about that, but I laughed and I cried and I loved it.
