I personally loved this book. I thought the writing was wonderful and the characters were developed so well that you really got to know them. Maybe I liked it so much because I had a death in my family when I was young, and this book is all about a young lady who was murdered looking down at her family from heaven. Whether there is any truth or not to the afterlife, this book made me feel a little bit better because you feel like the person you've lost is never really gone. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially someone who has lost someone they loved. I thought it was sad but hopeful and really just wonderful.
