Read it. This book found me and knew I needed it. I’m usually a romance reader but this book taught me some valuable lessons and opened my mindset on heaven and the afterlife.

I love this book. This was the second time I’ve read it and it’s incredible. It’s short and sweet because it doesn’t need any fluff. The lessons that Eddie learn from each of the 5 people he meets in heaven are reflected beautifully onto the little we know of his character. His life and relationships are fleshed out perfectly by them and altogether the books messages to Eddie are great lessons for the reader as well. So beautiful and I am very excited to read the sequel!
