Summary
His life is perfectly regimented. Is there really room for something as unpredictable as love?
Oliver Clock has everything arranged just so. A steady job running the family funeral parlour. A fridge stocked with ready meals. A drawer full of colour-coded socks. A plan (of sorts) to stay trim enough for a standard-sized coffin. And in florist Marie, he’s even found the love of his life - not that she’s aware of it.
When a terrible tragedy takes Marie out of his life but leaves him with her private journal, he discovers too late that she secretly loved him back. Faced now with an empty love life, a family funeral business in trouble, a fast-approaching fortieth birthday and a notebook of resolutions he’s never achieved, Oliver resolves to open himself up to love - and all the mess that comes along with it.
But, with a habit of burying his feelings, can he learn to embrace his lovability and find the woman who will make him feel whole?

Tragi-comedy
I enjoyed this whimsical story. It’s part love story, part macabre, part funny ... I liked the mix, the different characters who were well drawn and the character development of dear Oliver Clock.

Quirky and often funny
I enjoyed this and found it similar in tone to The Rosie Project. Well narrated.

Too little too late
I really struggled to finish it as the character only starts to take action around the middle. Even then the characters felt unrealistic and boring to follow. A 39 year old who thought and acted with a childlike mind...
