My heart has been warmed to the cockles of my soul!
This was a beautiful love story between two men but also one that addresses grief, death, and fantasy in a way that moves one to a higher calling both literally and figuratively.
How does one address a book by T.J. Klune if you've never read one- Powerful, moving, instructive, engaging, and absolutely delightful.
I've yet to not read anything by this author that didn't require a higher degree of involvement and engagement as I sunk into another world of time and place.
This was epic! It was everything we've come to expect and beyond by this wonderful author!
Sure, we have Hugo -teashop owner and ferryman to souls but we also have Wallace - a man lost in his own desires.
What can bring one back to reality? I propose being on the outside looking in. Being above ground and above one's own body. I propose time to self reflect and understand that life is more than what's here on Earth as it incorporates an entire other realm.
The addition of those who committed suicide and crossed over (albeit reluctantly) was also addressed so tread lightly for those that are triggered.
As noted T.J. Klune is at the top of his game and there's not enough words in the English language to proclaim how glorious and inviting this book truly is to all those who are lucky enough to read an an early copy.
I was one of the lucky ones and I'm truly honored and blessed.
Having lost my young niece at 12 years old to a man allegedly drag racing in Florida almost five years ago this hit home. The special flicker of lights and the aura they possess was a flooding of emotions as this should honestly be required reading to elevate love, compassion, and empathy in a world that needs it most.
Thank you to T.J. Klune, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
