Clover is a death doula, working with people in New York City to help them peacefully transition through their end of life process. After her beloved grandfather passed away, she has poured her entire self into her work. But in caring so much for the dying, Clover has put living her own life on the back burner. The final wishes of a dying woman spark Clover to examine her own life as she chases a forgotten love story, navigates new friendships, and ultimately discovers what kind of life she wants to live—and whether she has the courage to live it.

I am speechless and I think this is my favorite book I have read so far this year. Who knew a book about dying could be so heartwarming? The writing was so beautiful and the story was so unique. Towards the end it started to have a little bit of a Letters to Juliet vibe. There were so many powerful messages about grief and love throughout this book. I loved Clover’s character and how she grew throughout the book. I highly recommend this book!
