Great concept. Would‘ve been a great read is July and Dino weren‘t two of the most infuriatingly annoying characters ever.

I loved this book it takes a much needed look at friendships and that even at their best they're not always actually the best. It also has such an awesome view on letting go and accepting who you are and that you can be more than one type of person.
Funny and weird, but in a good way! Dino‘s ex-best friend, July, dies of an aneurysm, but sits up and starts talking while he‘s making up her body for her funeral in his family‘s funeral home. Together they try to figure out how she‘s alive, how to keep everyone else from finding out, and what went wrong with their friendship. Recommended!
Started reading this in a PD session and had to return it after getting 125 pages in. 😢 Now I‘m on my Libby waiting list for it for two weeks.
I always know some what of what I'm getting myself into when I read a book from Shaun David Hutchinson. This book was wierd, quirky, but had a message which most of his books are all about. Dino family works in a funeral home and when Dino's ex bestfriend dies suddenly and then comes back to life. They go on a small journey to figure out why is she back along with why their friendship ended so badly.

Finished this in one sitting. Totally enjoyable!
What would you do if your were preparing your ex best friend for her funeral and she wakes up and screams on the gurney. This is what happens to Dino. His ex friend July and been died for a week when she wakes up. They don't know why people are not dying. This book shows the journey that Dino and July make over a couple of days to make up before it is truly to late. Such a good book!
FINALLY got a much need snow day. I am going to be spending it reading as much as I can! ☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️
Someone wants to cuddle tonight while I read! 📚🐱💜📚🐱💜
What do you do when your ex-best friend comes back from the dead? Like all of Shaun David Hutchinson's books this one has a strong speculative premise in an otherwise realistic contemporary setting. I found July fairly obnoxious for a good part of the book, but I think it's a testament to Hutchinson's writing that I came around by the end. Didn't love this one as much as We Are the Ants but still a really solid YA book.
Bubble bath reading (and can I just say, I was so thrilled to get my hands on this baby early. Love everything I've read by Shaun David Hutchinson so far)
