Like nothing you ve read before. Bustle.com
Darkly funny and deeply moving. An original, memorable voice. Jennifer L. Holm, New York Times bestselling author
A wildly funny coming-of-age story about life, love, death, and everything in between. Sarah McCarry, author of All Our Pretty Songs
Terrific. Longo had me at graveyard and then dug me in deeper with wit, dark humor, and splendid characters. Lisa Brown, New York Times bestselling author
No one is more surprised than Leigh when her father buys a graveyard. Less shocking is the fact that he s too lazy to look farther than the dinner table for employees. Working the literal graveyard shift, she becomes great at predicting headstone choice (mostly granite) and taking notes with one hand while offering Kleenex with the other.
Sarcastic and smart, Leigh should be able to quit this stupid after-school job. But her world s been turned upside down by the sudden loss of her best friend and the appearance of Dario, the slightly-too-old-for-her gravedigger. Can Leigh move on, if moving on means it s time to get a life?
Darkly humorous and heart-wrenchingly beautiful, Jennifer Longo s YA debut about a girl surrounded by death will change the way you look at friendship, love, and life.
