After losing my grandfather recently, this book was just what I needed. I thought it was a really unique and interesting perspective on what happens after we die. I love when a book can make me feel things, and this one did just that. I laughed and I cried as I lost myself in it’s pages. When I was done, I passed it along to my mom, who found it just as helpful as I had. This book is beautifully written and will stay with me for a long time.

Not a bad book & probably better if read when younger. Liz was so whiny but is a teenager, plot would have played out so much better with 2 adults. Also elsewhere / heaven felt just like life lol there wasn’t anything special there.

Really good book. I like how the book has the author's point of view of Heaven. Awesome.
