For whatever unintentional reason, I have read several books about death lately. Hmmmm....But they all have been hopeful and sweet in their own way. And this was no exception. Main character Lucy is still furious at (and separated from) her cheating husband when he learns he is dying. Then, she's even madder that he's tying up her emotions. She goes home out of duty, but one night in a drunken fit, calls the names in his little black book saying, "Artie's dying. You need to come take your turn at his bedside."
The characters that take her up on it are precious and become everyone's sweethearts. There is much love and redemption in this fun little book. Yes, it's fun, even facing death. Again, I recommend!
