Ohhhhhhhmygod. This book is just FEELINGS - about life, death, and everything in between. There's no arguing that Wallace Price is a dickwad, but the personal growth that we get to see after he dies is just perfection. The book takes awhile to start up but once we're at Charon's Crossing, you get those signature T.J. Klune cozy homy vibes. We get the worldbuilding of his business of death with Reapers, Ferrymen, and the ever elusive manager, and the warm atmosphere of Hugo's tea shop. Like seriously, I don't even really like tea but I still want to live there. This book takes a careful approach to its discussion of death, especially that of self-harm and loss of a child, but the trigger warnings should be noted nonetheless.
