This book tries very hard to be quirky, and thus only really succeeds in creating annoying, pretentious characters. If you have a particularly sensitive aversion for the manic pixie dream girl archetype, I would simply look elsewhere for your next read.

This book was really hard for me to read.
The plot in the beginning was very interesting. It gave a different take on the concept of being in-between life and death. However, I came into this with the expectation that I would be reading a fantastical paranormal romance. Instead, it was more meant to make you think. What about? I’m not certain.
The concept just missed the mark for me but I wholeheartedly believe that it was my own fault due to my expectations coming in. I’ve read in multiple reviews that the author is an acquired taste. Give it a chance and perhaps it’ll cater to yours. Unfortunately, I cannot say it caters to mine.

Devastatingly erotic. Definitively intellectual. This whip-smart, empathetic novel delineates death / sex in their most bureaucratic and smolderingly vulnerable forms.

I could not put this book down. I started it in the evening and read until I finished it. It was a beautifully written love story and how you give pieces of yourself to others. And how to reclaim some of pieces back.
