Check out my book blog for more reviews! 
 Even though it's about death, The Catastrophic History of You and Me was a really light and 'fluffy' read. There's a very good balance between sad and happy, humorous parts: there's never too much of either one. 
 I really liked the writing style--quirky but still beautiful at times. The main characters, Brie and Patrick, were so very real and likeable. Brie was immature and angry at times. There were points in the book when she was really acting like a spoiled brat, but her sarcastic humour and witty comebacks made it easy and enjoyable to read. Patrick, her partner in crime, was mysterious, likeable, and he had these great one-liners and gave her cheese nicknames, which I thought was really cute (because her name is Brie, get it?). 
 I also liked the five stages of grief Brie went through all the way from Denial to Acceptance. 
 The ending--oh, the ending. I'm not going to say too much about it, just that it was awesome and I didn't see it coming at all. The rest of the book, whenever something was about to happen, I could pretty much guess everything and be right, but the ending pretty much made up for everything. 
 Overall, The Catastrophic History of You and Me was a funny, cute read about love, death, the afterlife, self-discovery, forgiveness and heartbreak.
