"When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead. And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead. But even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home."--Goodreads blurb
I enjoyed Klune's book "The House in the Cerulean Sea" so much and was really looking forward to reading this when it came out. Then I think I chickened out, because I was so afraid that I wasn't going to like this one after loving Cerulean so much. But I shouldn't have waited! What a charming, funny, and emotional book. My only thing that I really didn't like was having to believe that Wallace does such a complete turnaround in his personality. Because it wasn't just an attitude problem he had, his whole personality was horrible. However, I really did love and enjoy this book and it certainly didn't disappoint. Klune did it again, in my book.
