Not my cup of tea, I found the characters quite sympathetic and failing to like them made the book difficult for me to finish. But I did and sadly the best thing I can say is that it is done and I don't have to read it again.

Sort of Heaven Can Wait without the humor. The main character never made me feel anything for her but boredom.

Very good book. Did not expect it to be so descriptive and interesting, I would gladly recommend the book to others, please read.

I loved the beginning of the book where Melissa lives a normal life with her husband, working as the P. E. Teacher, and of course, doing the occasional drinks with an ex.

Till BAM she is knocked down by a car and she wakes up in the twilight zone. Oh literally in the interim where she does have to reap... She cannot pass on till she finishes her unfinished duties.

This was a different book where the parts which deal with Melissa and her husband and their family life was written with an emotional hand. The parts about the woman who had knocked her down were written with pathos and pain for both parties involved. These were the good parts

The interim with the wall, the Memory Forest, the old and the young, the lake and the dog, the Birdman, and the dinosaurs went on a different tangent which did nothing to enhance the book. The ending was so far fetched that it made no sense at all.

If the book had continued on an emotional vein it would have been fabulous, a bit like the move Ghost but still a good tale. But it went on a fantastical journey with other characters that it lost me completely. I skipped those parts and realized it was The End
