I really loved the story concept in this book - learning how the Grim Reaper came to be, and the steps their successor must undergo to take over this role. It's an emotional tale of grief and death, but there's humor in places (such as the Grim eating McDonalds) which broke up the darkness. 

I enjoyed the book overall, and the style of breaking up chapters with poems is different. The poems were short enough that I didn't loose my pacing, and finished this book quite quickly. I would have loved to learn more about the Grim, their journey and point of view, but it makes a clean narrative to just follow our main character Sonny. 

The ending didn't quite work for me, as I wanted something darker to match the rest of the book. But it was still very enjoyable. 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
