‘A big-hearted and life-affirming debut about a death doula who, in caring for others at the end of their life, has forgotten how to live her own, for readers of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and The Midnight Library.’ 

This was the line on the publisher’s page that attracted me to the novel. And yes, if you liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine you will enjoy this one. It is not the same story but it is about a lonely person in this world trying to find her way. 

Clover is a Death Doula, well that was the first thing I needed to look up, I had no idea this was a job. Then I was shocked to learn about Death Café’s. Turns out they are held all over the place. If you type it into google for your area I’m sure you will find one. 

Aside from all the new things I learned from this book, it is just a nice story of a woman helping another woman come to terms with her life before she passes on. It is also the story of a woman trying to figure out how to live her best life before she reaches the dying phase that all her clients go through. It is a story of friendship and love.
