This was my second book by TJ Klune, and I enjoyed my read! Klune’s humor and ability to write character growth feels unique and is always enjoyable. I thought the setting and concept of this way station after death felt unique and gave the reader something to think about and a motivation to keep reading just so you could figure out more than world and the book’s parameters of death. I think what I would have enjoyed more is if we met the manager a bit sooner to introduce a bit more tension into the plot earlier, and I wish the love story in the book had a bit more steady development throughout the book other than hinting at it until it kind of went all in. Both of those points are a bit nit-picky and regardless this was an overall enjoyable read.
