One of the most original, riveting, and moving books I've read in a long while * Graeme Simsion, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Rosie Project * Ben Reeves repeatedly takes us to life's most terrifying knife-edge, heartening us with the steady poetry of everyday life. This clever and vivid book made me fall in love with our collective ephemerality. I literally said, "Wow," about halfway through. The ending left me speechless. * Matthew Quick, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook * This novel has all the ingredients of unforgettability: a plot you've never seen, characters you want to love, writing that glimmers on the page, and a spectacular ending that will smack you in the face with an aching joy. Days later, I'm still brimming. * Monica Wood, bestselling author of How to Read a Book * This is one of the most affecting, original, and unforgettable novels I have ever read. Through the lens of death himself, we confront the highs and lows of the human experience in a way that reminds us how gritty and exquisite it is to live... Absolutely breathtaking, with a perfect twist of an ending. * Sarah Damoff, bestselling author of The Bright Years *
