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.

I loved this book. I became so invested in the characters and came to really care for them by the end. I love that there is no contrived drama in the romance but actual stakes that make sense for the story. and while it wrapped up the way I had hoped it didn't feel cliched.
