This book had a really pretty cover, which is what reeled me in initially. However, the content (which, one might argue, is even more essential than the cover) was nowhere near as convincing. I concede that anecdotal evidence was to be expected given the genre, but it seems that the author's strategy was basically slapping several dozen stories together and that just did not do it for me.
I began to lose interest towards the end of Pt.1 (of 4), and felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. And that's the other thing - seeing as how repetitive most of the anecdotes were, the book could have just as easily have had 50 pages instead of 300, and been none the worse for it. Oh dear.
2* because I did not hate Pt. 4.

I enjoyed this one just as much as Jackson’s previous book. The stories and feelings she shares about our connections to the other side resonate deeply with me.

Would have liked to have less personal stories and more information regarding how to understand and harness signs.. otherwise a good read!

Not what I thought it was going to be and feeling quite disappointed about that. A book that heavily focuses on grief and the author’s collection of stories about her clients. Wish it had been advertised / summerized as such on the back of the book itself

3 and 5 stars.
I did enjoy reading stories of different signs people have received from the other side after experiencing loss. Quite a few hit me in the feels, and they also brought me comfort because I'm always looking for signs from my loved ones. I thought this book was going to be more about teaching how to open yourself up to them or just, I dont know, something this book wasn't. I did not finish and stopped at 53% because it just became very repetitive and felt more like an ad for her services. I do think this would be a good book for someone to read if they are trying to figure out their beliefs of the afterlife. So 3 stars for feeling misled, but 5 stars for the stories because I can't judge people's experiences 🤍🪽

I will be the first person to admit that anything related to death, dying and the afterlife makes me uncomfortable. However, when I heard Laura Lynne Jackson on Chelsea Handler’s “Life Will Be the Death of Me” podcast, I was completely drawn to Ms. Jackson’s views on life, death and the Other Side.
This book tells heartwarming stories about signs our loved ones send after they pass. This book is lighthearted and very anecdotal. Ms. Jackson mostly shares stories of readings she’s done and the affect her messages have had on the people she’s read for. She encourages the reader to be open to accepting signs from the Other Side and the universe.
Although I enjoyed this book, it did get slightly repetitive, with similar themes and stories throughout.
Overall, I’d recommend this book if you want a positive, calming outlook on life after death.
