Thanks to Fierce Reads for the free copy of this book.
- A LITTLE LIKE WAKING is one of the strangest, silliest books I've ever read, but it's also full of heart.
- Comparisons to THE GOOD PLACE are apt, given that this is a story of two people finding themselves amid the most ridiculous imagery. There are even illustrations in case you aren't sure you read that right (laundromat clown? Surely not. Oh yes, there she is!)
- For me, it was a little on the long side, but if you or your kid are looking for something over the top silly with a side of serious, this is definitely one to check out.
