When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Else, I’d skip this one.Ī new contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with. If you liked Fredrik Backman’s Anxious People, you’ll likely love TJ Klune’s September 2021 book releases. The tongue-in-cheek humor just isn’t my style, so I decided not to finish this one. To me, Under the Whispering Door felt like it was trying too hard to be meaningful. Many readers are going to love Under the Whispering Door, raving about the profound truths conveyed through wry humor and quirky characters. Given one week until he needs to pass on, Wallace decides to live as much as he can in the next seven days with the help of the kind tea shop owner.

When the reaper comes to collect him at his own funeral, Wallace Price, a soulless lawyer obsessed with all the wrong things, finds himself taken to a small tea shop tucked into the mountains. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tor Books.
