I liked this a lot. I listened to the audiobook and the narration was good, but I think had I been reading it on my own, I would have stopped, highlighted quotes, made notes. I can't stop as easily with audio (I'm usually multi-tasking) and then I struggle to remember certain moments I wanted to delve a little deeper into. Bookclub discussion points to ponder type things.

In the dedication - the author notes "the women of Cloverlea, who taught me to look for the magic" and I'm guessing that was the inspiration for the name. I know it's likely just a personal problem, but the name just never clicked for me, always felt odd, and I didn't care for it. Likely a no-win situation for author's ... picking names for characters. 

I liked the story - the premise of the death doula, the struggles Clover herself had dealing with death and how it impacted her life. The "regrets" and her attempting to "correct" some of them was sweet and inspirational. It was reminiscent of another novel [book:We Are All Made of Stars|24493717] (hospice nurse writing down a last letter, taking one a bit further). 

I had also just recently read [book:Strange Sally Diamond|62322008], and while Clover is much more adapted to life (and death) it was still a little too close (for my reading them so close together) to have a MC that doesn't deal with others well, is perhaps asexual (comes up in both). The stories are completely different, but having the somewhat similar character struggles muddled my brain up a bit. 

The romance portion was a bit predictable to me, no surprises there. Also some interesting anticipations of "another life" (seeming to indicate more of a "reincarnation" belief than the "eternal love" idea/LDS ideology). 

There were just two instances of proFanity (at that point I wonder if it would be better to edit, as many prefer profanity free. Some talk of sexuality but nothing explicit happening.
