This book was really good!

Review by Aubrey

It was a nice mixture of sad, happy, and funny, with relatable characters and an interesting plot. It’s about a girl named Evie whose parents own a funeral home. She meets a boy named Oren who’s parents recently died, and tries to help him recover. I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction and slightly sad stories.

Best book I have read from PJ Library

Review by AK2014

Sorry for your Loss is about a boy whose parents passed away from an accident , the boy hasn’t talked since the accident. This girl, Evie, is not obsessed with death but her parents work at a funeral home so she is around it a lot. Evie has a goal, her goal is to get the boy talking again. If you like teamwork and family stories then you will like this book.

Sorry For Your Loss

Review by UniSGP

Sorry For Your Loss is a book about a girl called Evie whose parents run a funeral home. One day, Evie meets a boy called Oren who hasn’t spoken since his parents died in a car crash. Evie tries to help him, and that’s all I’m going to tell you. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens next.
