The Summary:
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mount'ains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.
But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.
When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.

This book was an absolute unexpected delight! It’s the first book I have read by T.J. Klune and has inspired my decision to read more. It tackles some heavy topics and the overall theme is beautiful, but dang, was it funny! I mean, these characters were so perfectly quirky, that their dialogue and interactions with one another were an absolute riot at times. I’m not sure what I was expecting a “T.J. Klune novel” to be, but this wasn’t it. I did not expect to find myself laughing out loud while listening to this audiobook, but it happened numerous times. It speaks volumes about the brilliance of a book when it is equal parts thought-provoking and hilarious. I very much enjoyed this audiobook and will be adding The House in the Cerulean Sea (also by Klune) to my TBR list for March.
