Funny and touching story about life, death and search for meaning
I laughed out loud.
Witty. I enjoyed meeting the characters and witnessing his self-realization as he navigated the dilemma he created. It's kind of a testament to redeeming qualities.
This book felt a little rambling at the start, and I was not sure it was going to work for me. The premise is funny, and although it seemed forced at first, it grew on me as the story unfolded. I did not love the first-person perspective, the story might have flowed more smoothly in the third person. Book #12 in 2026 3 ⭐️
