The story of a group of friends who met in college and have a pact to meet up for living funerals when they need to be surrounded by friends. They all lose touch for a bit, but then reconnect. It's told in a lighthearted and funny tone, but there are deeper currents running throughout. Loss, love, friendship, found family. This is a sweet book.
