This was a very bittersweet read. It shows how complex emotions and humans are. I think it does a really good job of showing how every moment is complicated and can be happy and sad at the same time. I feel like both of the main characters show a lot of really great growth over the course of the book. I love them both and I’m actually obsessed with Zelda. This is a great read about grief and how to appreciate the moments you have and what is right in front of you. I like how the book ended with Teagan talking about how important people are to making each moment perfect. I hope one day she gets to see her dad and Quinn again.

This novel was excellent. Simply fantastic. It grabbed me right at the start and kept me turning pages until it was done (literally one sitting). It was clever and original, but most of all it was fun. This novel made me happy, sad, and happy-sad at different points throughout. It reads like a YA novel but I think anyone would enjoy reading it.


Highlights:
-The overall premise was original and a neat take on what heaven/afterlife could be like. Personally, it was somewhat of a psychological horror novel at times (I mean that is a good way), but results may vary.
-The writing was very well done, clever, and delightful. There were some great narrative devices used throughout and the story was well constructed. At times while reading I was frustrated (not usually good!), but so was the MC so it was like we were experiencing the story together.
-I liked the banter (and chemistry) between the characters. It wasn’t the most mature, but neither was the MC so it made sense and worked well.
-Characters, and character development! This was essentially the point of the novel so it makes sense, but it was still satisfying! The reader gets to follow the main character closely and experience every step of their journey.
-This novel made me stop and think, which isn’t that common. This book had a great underlying message that was cleverly executed.
