Don’t get me wrong, the first book was good. But this book? THIS BOOK? I am not okay!!!! This might be the most beautiful novel I have ever read. I cried while reading it and I want to cry again just thinking about Annie’s story, especially the second and fifth people she meets in heaven. I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from this one. Just wow. I would highly recommend reading this book immediately after the first.

A great follow up for its predecessor, I loved the connections but the original will always be held tightly to my heart. Maybe time has fogged my memory but there were more mentions of god, which is fine I just have varying views. It was beautiful though, pairing the storyline’s and the connections. Someone did say trauma porn in the reviews here and I kinda agree.
