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.

Why did I add Under the Whispering Door to my bookshelf?
I picked this one up from Libro.fm back in 2021 and was really excited about it. I can’t tell you why I haven’t listened to it yet. I feel like this book was everywhere for a long time and most of my Goodreads friends really liked it. Hopefully, I can work this one in sometime soon
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
That’s a new to me one! Only just starting to see this author’s books around since he just came to St. Louis not too long ago. Hope you love this one once you get to read it!
I need to get to this one too. Under the Cerulean Sea was one of my favorite reads last year! I adored Luci!
I’ve only read one by Klune (Wolfsong) and I’m excited to read the rest of his Green Creek series. I know this one gets a lot of love!
Oh this would interest me, but I didn’t see it.
I have read and really loved that book!
I haven’t read that one. This is the first I’ve heard of it.
I have seen tons of raves for this book
I haven’t read any by this author yet. Like you, I saw it pop up everywhere for a while. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the story when you get to it.
I have this one on my TBR! It looked amazing but of course I haven’t read it yet. I hope you read it soon and share your thoughts!
I heard a lot about this book
I have read The House in the Cerulean Sea and loved it. So I think I migh read this one as well.
