Welcome to the world of hitchhiking ghost Rose Marshall—run off the road on prom night 1952 by a man who sold his soul to drive forever young. Originally published in several short stories, Sparrow Hill Road reads as time jumping but still narratively cohesive vignettes following Rose through life, death, and afterlife, learning the rules of the Ghost Roads. THESE VIBES made for such a fun read for my work trip to Winslow, Arizona off Route 66!

The narrator is a ghost who died in a car accident and spends her after-life alternately helping people avoid life-ending accidents and shepherding their ghosts away from the scenes of their deaths. No moments of death are described in detail, only the occasional aftermath.

This book made me laugh and made me cry. It also made me not scared about what might happen after I die and also terrified at the same time. I loved it.
