#31 Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune

Wallace is greeted by a reaper at his funeral and instead of going onto an afterlife he is hanging around an odd tea shop. A ferryman is running the tea shop helped by the reaper that collected him there is also the ghost of the ferryman’s grandfather and the ghost of his dog.  Wallace was a self-absorbed jerk in life but bit by bit that changes as he deals with being dead. Something happens and I will not say what but now Wallace has a week left to his existence in the tea shop as he is learning to be a better person and go through the final door. This book left me crying in public more times than I like to think about.   It is a sweet story that tugs on the heartstrings and some people may not want that if they are dealing with grief in their lives.  Needless to say at some point this story will bring a tear to your eye and if you can forgive a book for doing that then this is a great read.
