What I liked about this book:
- The thought of a whimsical halfway tea house on your way to the afterlife
- Lovely writing
- Most of the supportive characters were engaging and likable
- The audiobook narration was good
What I disliked:
- The main character, Wallace. At the beginning he is awful, and I thought his redemption and personality shift was way too quick. Honestly, I think the ending he got was completely undeserved, and the speed in which he changed everything about himself made his relationships with the other characters seem shallow.
- The pacing. For me, this book progressed very slowly, with the characters 0ften waxing poetic on life and death.
So overall, I didn’t really think this one was for me, but if you’re looking for a philosophical, whimsical paranormal that takes its time, this could be for you!
⭐⭐⭐½
Thanks for reading!
