Seemed immature in writing style. Caitlin had a woe is me attitude throughout the entire book, refusing to ask for help when needed then complaining how she had to do alot of things all alone within the crematory she worked in. She also talked more about her past and living in Hawaii than she did about the actual crematory business as a whole.

I like all of Caitlin Doughty’s books. She also does a great job with the audiobook narration. Lots to think about after reading which is the best sign of a good book!

Reminds me of Stiff but more of a memoir. Likable author. Thoughtful perspective on the death industry.
