Sinossi
Viva is obsessed with obituaries
She lives to see who died. After her own life-threatening experience, she turns her obsession into a course at Lakeview City College. Fresh obituaries provide insights into profound world changes, while death appears at Viva’s own front door.
As Viva hits bottom, her students hijack the course and commit to building their own legacies. Raucous car washes and poetry marathons become fundraisers for the new library. Thanks to their example, and the forty-five plastic pink flamingoes that appear on her birthday, Viva begins to speak out, exposing her vulnerability, risking her job and her romance, and inspiring protests and calls for censorship.
As Viva raises her own quirky voice, she commits to living every single minute to the fullest, making the most of the time represented by a single dash separating birth and death dates on a tombstone. Viva Viva! becomes her mantra.

Praise for The Obit Habit
“The Obit Habit reminds us to celebrate our brief time on the planet with authenticity and verve. Our heroine Viva lives up to her name; her aliveness vibrates right off the page, as does Romalyn Tilghman’s wit and warmth. A deeply satisfying, life affirming novel.”
