The End of Your Life Book Club has definitely earned a spot on my (unofficial) Favorite Books of All Time list. Loved it, was inspired by it, and added 30 more titles to my To Read list by the time I reached the end. Two thumbs up.
On the flip side, Caribou Island was seriously f*ed! My thoughts upon finishing it: What the hell?!
Onward!
