"It’s beautiful, even when it hurts."

I hesitate to say this one was cute. There were many cute moments in it and moments that melted my heart and made me swoon a bit. It's a bit of a love story - but it's a love story about finding life and finding love and finding. . .what life means.

This is the story of Wallace and the day he died. But it's so much more than that. It's about the reaper and the ferryman and about what happens after we're gone. There are so many tough topics tackled in this st

SO good! I laughed, I cried, I was moved, I just enjoyed this book. It is about love, it is about loss, it is about second chances and learning about yourself and coming the person you are meant to be. It is a lesson that it is never too late. A moving well written book. T.J. Klune you did it again. Now one of my favorite authors.

I had heard mixed reviews of this book and, after having read "The House in the Cerulean Sea", I was nervous that I wasn't going to like it as much.
TJ Klune has succeeded, again, in creating a world around the real and surreal.
His quirky characters are loveable and relatable.

Of course, any scene that has a dog in it, I gravitate towards and mostly, I worry about the dog the entire time. haha. I'm a sucker.

Ok... so, if you liked "The House in the Cerulean Sea", definitely give this a chance. I th
