The Ten Best Days of My Life by Adena Halpern

3.0

3.5 stars. Fun book. The beginning was a little rough for me, because the heroine, Alexandra, was, well, a little annoying. But – she’d just died, at 29, so I guess she had a right. The descriptions of heaven and its rules, levels, conditions, etc. were fun…loved it. I love the concept of thinking about the 10 best days of your life and how they represent you and what you value in life. What seemed like a fun, beachy read, actually ended up having some thought-provoking substance. By the end of the story, I grew to care for Alexandra. Her return to Earth, for her wake, was bittersweet and made me cry. If only they’d given her a reprieve! Yet, alive or dead, the lessons she learned are timeless: be true to yourself, love your family and friends, and be a good person...not matter how long you live, life is too short.
