The premise sounded very cool and interesting but the protagonist is not likable and the entirety of the first half he just keeps trying to touch things. It’s inane. Also, the author tried to make the different characters sound different, but it did not work. I stopped reading at page 110. I really gave it a good shot.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. The story flowed so well and left me feeling inspired to live life to the fullest. The characters were so vividly portrayed that I felt as though I knew them personally. I'm sure it would make a great movie or TV series. TJ did an amazing job with this book!

If dying means going to a tea shop in the middle of the woods then I am ready to go!

A beautiful story about life and death and love. Made me smile and cry. I didn’t want it to end but I loved the ending.

I love how the author writes as he feels. I can feel the details of the actions the character portrays. I must admit.. for someone who isn’t a fan, the author does turn me into a loyalist. This book tells of the struggle of the ferryman and the souls he ferries to the undead realm. That description was enough to intrigue me. Definitely a feel good story. P.s. spoiler: the deer in the picture is a god.

I don’t even have words to say how TJ Klume manages to tug on my heart strings. Between this and House on the Cerulean Sea I am now this author’s biggest fan. This book will make you fall in love with humanity and with the main characters - just as hard as they fall for each other.

A delightful tale about life, death, love and redemption.

It is thought provoking, relatable and romantic. I loved the characters in all their quirkiness! I can’t wait to read more books by this author!

I really liked this book. The characters are engaging and interesting and nuanced. It’s refreshing to read a book that offers a new perspective of life and death and most importantly, hope. This novel also makes you appreciate living and that’s a real gift.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. It hand me “hooked” after the first chapter. There were several times that I laughed out loud and several times that I felt empathy for the characters. This book is easily in my top 5 of favorite books.
