Grave Expectations

Birdie Roberts only feels alive at funerals. A struggling stand-up comedian with a gift for inappropriate timing, she stumbles into the wrong memorial chapel in Tacoma and meets Jonah, a grief counselor who can fix everyone's heart but his own. Over eight years and seven funerals, they circle each other in a morbid courtship neither can quit—drawn together by loss, torn apart by fear, and haunted by Birdie's dying grandmother's demand that she finally say something true. A laugh-out-loud love story about the people we meet in the worst places and the terrifying choice to let them stay.
