But he begins to suspect she’s right, and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly accepts the truth. Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his life – even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting colleagues and hectoring employees. He’d had no time for frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing something. The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So when he’s given one week to pass through the door to the other side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days. \u003cb\u003eFans of \u003ci\u003eA Man Called Ove\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Good Place \u003c\/i\u003ewill fall for this queer love story by TJ Klune.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for TJ Klune:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e 'I loved it.
