Was sucked in by the idea of a monster funeral parlor, but I think I was mostly let down by the execution. It didn't really meet my expectations, which is solely a me problem, but either way it feels like the story took the less interesting concept and ran with it. What I initially envisioned as a story about a kid learning how to run a funeral parlor for monsters, with all their different funerary rites and customs, instead became a long-winded narrative with endless sibling bickering, references that ooze "Hey kids, I, an adult, also know what a Fortnite is" energy, and a style of humor that really wasn't for me.  I'm sure middle grade readers will love it as a spooky, fun read, but I think by the time act three rolled around I was just tired of it. 

Also, the great reveal of Viv being the reason the parents separated and the father taking Molly away from the home, only for Molly to only be mildly peeved at her was just....I don't know, not great? It seemed like an emotionless moment for something that's been building up since the beginning.
