I finished reading this while working a slow shift that suddenly was not so slow, and several customers offered me tissues. I will remember that humiliation and the snot.

This book is about death, but also about LIFE, love, family, history, and healing through grief. The middle was a little slow and I would've liked more of the romance build-up with Jax (it was a bit too "instant attraction" for me), but GUH everything with Dante. My heart, my soul. I'm getting choked up now just thinking about the resolution. E.E. Cummings said it best:

"i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart)"
