Pretty good book
It wasn't as good as the first one. More so just a different version of the first one without as much great insightful stuff. This seemed to be the authors way of grasping at the hopes of another great hit. Still good though and worth a read.

Was looking for a short, easy read, and can confirm there were tears.

I feel like this book, like the first, is certainly a soothing balm for easing the effects of grief. However, it did feel a little weaker somehow, than the first. The use of metaphors and similes felt more overused than I remembered in the original, where it took me out of it.
It was a book where I never truly lost myself in the prose but enjoyed the journey and was glad to have read it.

I didn’t even know the second book existed! So happy to have found it. Once again an absolutely incredible writing style that kept me hooked throughout and such a fascinating idea of the afterlife. I am personally not Christian but the depiction of heaven was touching.
Perfect book for anyone looking for a fast paced read absolutely guaranteed to give you goosebumps

I was scared that this would suffer from the dreaded '2nd album' syndrome, it didn't.
I thought the ideas from '5 people' would be re-hashed but I was pleasantly surprised.
Reading it bought a smile to my face a tears to my eyes (the only reason I didn't openly sob was because I was sitting next to somebody on a flight.... WARNING! CARRY TISSUES!)
