Thank you to House of Anansi and Goodreads for a free copy of Once more with Feeling!

Méira Cook has a gift for writing about the eccentricities of daily life. Her characters feel like they could be your neighbours, your family members, with all of their hilarity and poignance and quirks. And along the way, she tells a beautiful story about families, love, community, and truly seeing one another.

If you like funny/poignant books about small towns and their inhabitants, definitely give this one a whirl.

Also, this book has one of the best openings I've ever encountered in fiction -- an amazing inciting incident where you can see something unfolding, and you don't know where you're going, but you know you're in for a ride along the way.
