Customer Reviews

I devoured this book

The Next Thing You Know tugged at my heart. Nova is a death doula; I never had heard of such a thing. I enjoyed learning more about what a death doula does, it is a unique career and certainly not a job everyone can do. Dealing with death is never easy and Nova has a huge heart that lets her clients in as more than just clients. Mason is more than just a client. He never really shares why he needs her assistance, but it is evident that there is something more than just terminal illness going on. Nova opens her life to him and her heart, while also helping him find his way. I like that every character in the book seemed to have more to their story. Each character had a secret to keep, a story to tell, or a past that effected their current lives. The final secret revealed blew me away, I never saw it coming and I love how it finished the story perfectly. Jessica Strawser is so talented. I devoured this book, wanting more, and loving how real the story is.
