I love this, too! A healing story about life after death. The lessons are inspiring, but the one that hit me was about Cleo, Annie's dog. My family recently lost our dog of over a decade, and I couldn't stop thinking about him while reading about Cleo. I hope you're in a better place, little buddy. I'm actually glad that she survived the accident because her life wasn't over yet. I love the resolution, too. What I love most about this series is that it' s truly emotional and reflective. We look at the after life in a different light which was super interesting for me. Anyway, I'm so inspired after this story. Thank you, Mitch✨ I'll surely read your other books❤️

It's the sequel to "The five people you meet in heaven".

It follows the little girl Eddie saved on the pier.

The main character has a lot of challenges in her life and after death a lot of it is explained with the other person's perspective. It has a beautiful twist ending and the story is really beautifully told.

4.0

Short but powerful book that follows Annie, the girl Eddie saved in the first book. It was heartbreaking at times and altogether bittersweet as we learned with Annie what “mistakes” mean and how we are connected to others and across lifespans. Bad note: I am now afraid of hot air balloons.
