Death Made Me
Some people live each day as if it were their last, embracing every possibility. What if today was your last day? Have you lived enough? Barry never took chances. Today he tried. Katherine was out of his league: beautiful, kind, well-travelled. What would she ever see in him? Successful in his line of work, but sadly lacking in every other aspect of life. On his last day, he got his wish to be with Katherine. Only, fate bestowed a bittersweet irony upon him, forcing him to watch as she was mistreated by the one person he hated the most. Unbeknown to them both, Barry would leave a mark on Katherine's life that would impact generations of her family yet to come.

Barry lives a quiet life. He has his routines and keeps to himself. He does, however, have a lovely neighbor, Katherine, who is there when he has a heart attack and dies suddenly one day. His death is just the beginning as he finds himself tied to Katherine. Days turn into months. Months turn into years. Barry is always there through Katherine’s life. Then one day, Barry’s afterlife begins to change and new beginnings start new stories.
I went into this book blindly. I loved Whispers In the Wine Cellar, but I knew this was a completely different style. The book feels like a journey to me. I felt like I followed Barry and Katherine through all the parts of their lives. Were there difficult parts? Yes. But there were also some really amazing parts, too. By the end of the book, I has definitely hit most every emotion and I was sad to see it end!
I enjoyed going into this one blindly. Keeley has said a few times that she had trouble categorizing it, and after reading it I can understand. It doesn’t fit into just 1 or 2 categories. It’s its own style and should be read and appreciated for what it brings.
I really enjoyed it!
