Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I LOVED IT. I laughed. I cried. This book was everything. I love the ending! I’m so happy they got the ending they deserved it. The author did a great job writing such a wonderful storyline. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
Funny and heartfelt this story starts with a tragedy. Amy’s soulmate James is killed in an accident and her life falls apart in every way. She turns to mediums for help in contacting James. Meanwhile James is supposed to have moved on in heaven but somethings gone awry he still misses Amy unbearably. He appeals to God as seeing Amy so heartbroken is destroying him. With physics and well meaning interventions will it all end up causing more harm and suffering. Loved this book couldn’t put it down yet didn’t want it to finish.
This book is so different from most romances/romantic fiction I have read. The idea of the story primarily taking place after one partner, James, has died, makes it a really unique read. Since no one truly knows what happens after death to a soul, it was fascinating to follow the journey of James and Amy as she navigated her grief on Earth and he figured out how to exist in heaven. A lot of the book centers on grief, obviously, because Amy is so distraught and doesn't want to even imagine making space in her life for another love in the future. James, watching from wherever he is, is desperate to see her find comfort and joy. The rendering of God is interesting...I wouldn't say I agree with how he's portrayed, but it certainly gets you thinking! All in all, a heartwarming story of how love can continue even beyond death, and the importance of finding people to lift us up when we're in the throes of deep grief. Thank you to NetGalley and the Book Guild for the chance to read this early.
Despite being about grief/loss, it’s also a love story. This was a super cute book! Stay with me here... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This book switches perspectives each chapter. Amy, who is on Earth, and James, who is in heaven. The way the author imagines heaven and God was really unique, quirky and fun. I kinda hope it is as they imagined it to be 😂 The ending was unexpected, but felt like a good way to wrap up the story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The authors writing is easy to follow and relatable. Would recommend if you’re looking for a beach / vacation read! It gives the vibe of the move Just Like Heaven with Mark Ruffalo (who I love haha). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This ARC was provided to me via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Great book! I really enjoyed reading this book. You might ask, "how could you enjoy a book about a young man dying and his girlfriend grieving?" My answer is that the story, while, yes, very sad, is also a novel of hope. Without love, grief wouldn't exist. For Amy, 26, almost a year after losing her boyfriend James in a sudden accident, her grief feels endless. His mother Carol seems to think Amy was an afterthought and should be over James by now. Her friends try to set her up, but no one measures up to James and the love they shared. As the months roll on, Amy sinks further into depression. Her free time is largely spent at the crem with other people who've been left behind. They've formed a little group and bonded. But its not enough, Amy is suffering. James is watching all this from Heaven and can't do anything to help, despite his friendship with The Boss. I hope readers take this book in the vein it was written (or at least I think it was). Its not a guide to getting through grief, or an insightful look into Heaven and what happens after death. Instead it is a fanciful, wishful look at how it should be, and perhaps in some small way, will give people a different way of thinking about life after death. Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.
