pickI am not sure I have words to describe how much I love this book… so beautifully told in a way that I could see glimpses of myself within the pages! Everyone needs to read this book!
“The secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life”
pickRemarkable debut novel about a death doula who learns how to live her life & to face her regrets.
I was captivated by the writing & had a very hard time putting this down. I recognized some of myself in Clover. Her compassion is also very inspiring. This is a quiet novel with a lot to unpack & reflect upon, how to live one‘s life, how to face regrets, and how to take that leap. Tissues needed!
“Grief is just love looking for a place to settle.”
pickWhat an important book. This was so beautifully written and truly unique. I don‘t think I‘ve really read anything like this before. I love Clover and how insightful she is. The growth in this book is so beautiful and touching. This book is one that really makes you think and reflect and will inspire you to live each moment like it‘s your last.
I really loved this book. I had never read anything about a death doula and it was very interesting.
“The secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life. Grief, I'd come to realize was like dust, When you're in the thick of a dust storm, you're completely disoriented by the onslaught, struggling to see or breathe.”

pickThis book tells the story of Clover, a death doula in NYC. Her work is spending time with people in their final days to sort through their affairs, thoughts, feelings, regrets, and more. She has lived a reclusive life, so the story is about her blossoming and embracing her life, as she helps her clients with the end of theirs. If you like stories with quirky characters, unlikely friends, redemption, and exploring deep topics, this is for you!
pickI finally finished this!! It was really good. Hanging out in AZ, waiting for the arrival of our grandson. 🩵
pickThis was an impressive debut novel because it dealt with death and grieving in an open and positive light. Clover is a death doula by profession who is wonderful at helping people cross over, but she is very isolated and not so great at living her own life.
Grief comes in waves for me. I liked that this book addressed it as not something a person will simply "get over" within a set period of time.
pickThis book got me thinking. Who wants to die with regrets? So many of the passages in this book hit home. Clover was a bit of a loner and a lover of books. Sound familiar? I know I can relate! She‘s also a death doula, so she got to hear the regrets of many. There are things we can do while we‘re living to avoid regrets. That‘s what this book is about. And it‘s a good one which I highly recommend.
