Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the copy of this book.

I feel like my heart just got a nice little hug. This is such a tender and sweet story of a death doula - a woman who sees poeple through their last days and lets them think through their lives, their last wishes, and what happens next. Clover is a bit lonely herself, I think high-functioning autistic (although this isn't explicitly stated in the book), and spends her life bringing people peace. I loved watching her shine through her job, but also blossing in her relationships with the living as the book went on. This is a really beautiful book and one I can see myself rereading.

The audiobook is narrated by Jennifer Pickens, who does a fabulous job. I think you could win on either format for this book: physical to highlight favorite quotes, or audio to experience the great narration. Just pick it up in some format :)
