honestly,, i was enjoying this book until i got to the 75% mark then it all just went to hell.. so much happened and none of it made any fucking sense.
...it was definitely an experience...but hey, at least i can cross ghost sex off my bingo board!!!

When I first started I reading I could not put the book down, and I was motivated to keep going even when it got a bit slow because I was so excited about the possibility of learning more about Thomas and what would happen when he was finally called back by the Office .. but it never came .. This started out so strong for me and just became mehhh.. I'm really sad about it!! It was a decent read but steadily declined the further I got in.
Maybe not for everyone but I really enjoyed how unique and off-beat this book was.
#partner Thank you to @bibliofinder and @littlebrown for my free copy of The Regrets by Amy Bonnaffons! I couldn’t resist the irony of pairing this wall with this book

Update: Decided to go with the trusty 2.5 stars. It fits, I think.

Not worth it. I expected a funny existential rom com with a ghost, in the vein of The Good Place or something. Instead I got two hundred pages of ghost porn. The most interesting part of the story, the angel bureaucracy, vanished because I guess we were too busy learning about the myriad ways ghosts could have sex. The characters were unpleasant (and frankly I was uncomfortable with how nonwhite and nonstraight characters were portrayed, one lesbian only present for the sake of a male character kissing her), and it felt like nothing ever amount to anything, and not in a contemplative way. Only rated this high because the prose, honestly was lovely - there were individual lines I adored, in between diatribes about mattresses and glowing penises.
