I am a HUGE Mitch Albom fan, and again I was drawn into this story! I usually am not a fan of sequels because they tend to not be as good as the original, but this one did not disappoint. Albom has the best messages, symbols, and theories about life that make you think and look differently at your own life. If you were a fan of the first book: The Five People You Meet in Heaven, you have to read this one!
A lot of realization and lessons while reading this. It really touched my heart

if you enjoyed the five people you meet in heaven, you will enjoy this as well. it tells the story of a woman learning to accept her life, accept her “mistakes,” and learn to love. just as touching and profound as the first and teaches us that it is okay not to understand things in our lives on earth; we will understand them one day.

Mitch Album did it again!!!!!!! I absolutely love this author. Even though his books have a lot of sad elements, his stories are always so touching and beautiful. His book ‘for one more day’ was the first and only summer reading book I ever enjoyed.
This book….. so beautiful. I listed to the audiobook narrated by the author and the ending made me bawl my eyes out, out of both sadness and joy. 10/10 book and 10000/10 author

Really enjoyed this follow up to The Five People You Meet in Heaven, which I loved when it was published several years ago. The story follows a fairly predictable plot line comparable to Five People, but with a twist. Annie’s had a tough life since her accident at Ruby Pier but just when things are finally looking up, a tragedy strikes. Annie is entirely likable and it’s easy to empathize with her. You want things to work out for her. And, fair warning, there is a dog and you will cry. Be sure to read Five People first if you decide to give this one a go.
This book is a really great perspective on what heaven can or could be. I really enjoyed the lessons and the reasons why she meet who she met, but like why did he has to ripe my heart out in the last 5 pages. Like that was uncalled for and I could have lived without the whole thing it didn’t help the plot it just broke my heart. I was sad because I was happy and I was happy because she was no longer sad (make that make sense)
I liked this one even more than the original, which I was not expecting to like at all.
