Description
He'll love her as long as he lives. And longer . . .
Like so many men in Alabama, Wade Strickland’s father thinks God created football on the 8th day. He makes Wade start using steroids when he’s 14 years old and justifies it by telling Wade he’s too dumb to do anything else but play football. After years of abuse from his father and a broken heart from losing the only girl he’ll ever love, Wade wraps his Corvette around a tree when he’s eighteen and takes his own life.
When he wakes up in the Afterlife Admissions office, his advisor named Flo tells him that there’s an administrative hold on his Afterlife Account and he has to serve time as a Transdead Trustee and prevent other young athletes from using steroids in order to clear it. If that’s not bad enough, the first guy he has to help is a baseball player like the blue-eyed Boy Scout who stole the girl he loves.
Wade toughs it out and actually becomes friends with the guy he has to help, but he runs into trouble when he meets a girl who looks just like the one he can’t forget, and she needs his help too. What’s a lovesick dead guy to do? It’s enough to drive Wade to drinking, but wouldn’t you know it? Dead guys can’t get drunk.

Tough subjects are brought up in this book but are dealt with in a good manner . Wade's journey is a perfect for anyone in high school or any young adult to empathize with. .

I chose to read and review this book because I thought it would be a teen summer romance YA book. Boy, was I ever wrong — but in a good way!
What happens when you die and you aren’t ready to live “upstairs?” We follow the story of Wade and Jada, two people who are “transdead.” They are on assignment in new human bodies and lives, given a mission to change the world. Will their mission fail or will they succeed?
What I love about this book is the futuristic yet nostalgic spin on the after life. The book reminds me of the movie “Chances Are,” with Robert Downey Jr.

Oh wow... this was WAY out of my regular reading journey that I choose, and I kinda liked it haha
Futuristic, romantic, spirited and in a realm that makes you think about the afterlife... it captured me and I'm looking forward to picking up other books by Joyce Scarbrough.
A huge thank you to NetGalley, Joyce Scarbrough and Blue Attitude Books for providing me with an ecopy of this publication which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.
