I laughed, I cried. I found an old friend and I discovered a few things about myself.

This story is about Lily after she dies. This story shows how the world's religious and not transition on after death. Lily curious about Hell decides to adventure from her paradise to see what its all about. If what she was taught were true. This story shows a beautiful story of how a few characters learn from thier tramas and find love and acceptance. All while saying and doing what every retail worker has ever wanted to do to stubborn, entitled pieces of work that has cross thier path.

One minute your laughing at the witty banter or rolling your eyes at the dad jokes. You'll cry as hard as the characters as they face hard truths and cheer when they succeed. 

This is book is based off a story that began on Tiktok under @Sea.Ya.Later by the author.

A decent, imaginative storyline and likeable characters. But a bit too spicy for me. I skipped through about 25% of the book for this reason.

This is the most gorgeous story I've read in a while. It has adventure, self discovery, trauma, romance, fun, and wonderful character development. I can actually see myself reading it again in years to come. Absolutely brilliant.

An enjoyable read with a new take on the afterlife and what it means to be alive. Lily is a strong lead and the rest of cast keep the story moving. The romance between Lily and Bel is a slow-burn to start before the spice ramps up. 
There are some funny moments, heart-felt moments and of course sad moments. There is a lot of talk about death, trauma and abuse throughout. Some chapters do read like a therapist's notebook and were a little bit of a slog to get through.
Overall, a fun read and loved the afterlife concept.
