Helpful Score: 1

I was at turns moved and very disappointed by this book. I was really engaged with the first third of the book, but as the story progressed, I expected the characters to be more fleshed out and that didn't happen. There is alot of nonsensical behavior from several characters - the mother, Ruth, Ray and later Susie as she falls back to earth. What? What happens next is like a slap in the face to the reader. Why Susie takes that opportunity to have sex with Ray makes absolutely no sense even though she continued to love him while in her heaven. After being brutally raped and murdered, she chooses to have sex when she returns instead of telling the authorities the location of both her body and Mr, Harvey? And the happily ever after ending? None of it believable and I felt so cheated.

The book was also not served by the the author's decision to narrate the book herself. Her voice is not very engaging and her delivery very flat.
