Book Discussion - Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt by Ben Reeves

This month, we'll discuss Ben Reeves' Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt. Travis is Death in the modern world. He wears jeans and a T-shirt and lives in a small, grey town. His job is to offer people comfort in their final hours of life. He's stoic, gentle, and a little naive, despite everything he knows. He's young and handsome, despite who he is. Each death he witnesses is meaningful to him; he listens, never judges, and most importantly, never tries to change anyone's fate. He knows that every life must eventually end to maintain the balance of the universe and he respects the cycle. Then he meets Dalia, a midwife, and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter Layla, who live across the hall.
