If I am honest with you, the covers of Klune's book attracts me like a moth to the flame. If I wouldn't know anything at all, it would be that the covers speak to me. Luckily for me, the stories do as well.
When I started on this one though, I almost stopped. It was about death and what happens after. I have somewhat recently suffered from a close death in the family. I have not been able to fully recover from this. I wasn't sure if I could handle a book like this. I stayed with it and all I can say is that it was beautiful. My heart ached but also did a little sigh. And when the book ended, I literally shed some tears for how much the story touched me.
I would also like to discuss a bit on the LGBTQ. I've noticed a lot of authors are throwing it in their books and doing a horrific job of it. It is like they are trying to show they are "woke" or politically correct but they do a dismal job of it. Klune, on the other hand, knows how to write it properly and he does it with such class. Other authors should take note.
