This is a healing story about life, death, and after life on Earth. It's an awakening. I love how this is about the "explanation" of everything that happened in one's life. Super interesting. I actually read this a few years ago, but I'm older now and it hits different. Thank you, Mitch. On to the next book✨

I don't believe in heaven. This book though, taught valuable lessons about life and death which make you pause and reflect as you read through.  A lighthearted and fast-paced read. Not my usual cup of tea but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. 
(Brb while I go and give the author's other books a shot :D *disappears*)
