What can I say. I haven’t reviewed a book in who knows how long. This wasn’t what I was looking for when it came to a book about the Afterlife. I was hoping for a fleshed out Afterlife with its own customs and history. Kind of like a Harry Potter set in Heaven. The setting was pretty much a carbon copy of life on Earth. This book could have easily taken place on Earth instead of the after life. If I jumped into a random section of the book it would have taken me quite awhile to even realize I was dealing with the Afterlife. This book is aimed at teens. Anyone older would not care for the characters and their day to day.
