I pretty much loved this book, but I will say from the start that I can absolutely see why it is not for everyone. This is tough subject matter, a very emotional ride, and something you wont easily forget. If nothing else, I would encourage you to definitely read it in the privacy of your home its not the sort of book I would have taken out in public. The tears started flowing from page one, and didnt let up much throughout the entire book.

Im not sure what I thought this book would be I knew it was the story of a girl who was tragically murdered, but I guess I assumed ahead of time that it was a murder mystery. It is definitely not that. We are introduced to Susies murderer on the second page and there is no doubt whatsoever that he is the guilty person. Instead, this is a tale of what heaven might be like, what things could be after you die, and what is left behind on earth after you go.
