"Beautifully focused snapshot of Rosie's final months on Earth. The simplicity of this approach fits perfectly with the seeming randomness of life, death and love." --Deseret News "Rosie's story is a very readable exploration of the bonds that last beyond death, and readers will hang on to see Rosie make her choices." --Booklist Fifteen-year-old Rosie Wolf is sure when you die, you go straight to Paradise, until she wakes to discover she has died in an accident and that Paradise isn't what she thought it would be. Rosie Wolf was sure that when her dad died, he went to Paradise. After all, isn't that where everyone went? But when Rosie wakes up in a strange hospital bed and finds out that she's died in an accident, she learns things aren't always what you think they will be. Now her father feels further away than ever, and Rosie is left to deal with the Grim Reaper, who isn't a man in a black cloak, but a beautiful woman with a bad attitude. The Grim Reaper tells Rosie that before she can move on to Paradise, she has to go back down to Earth and collect three souls. But Rosie quickly realizes it's not so simple. To complicate matters, Rosie meets Kyle, a boy who is different than anyone she's ever known. He's cute, smart, and funny. Rosie's been warned to stay away from the living, but she doesn't want to. What will happen if she doesn't? No library descriptions found. |

Yes, I know do not judge a book by the cover but really publishers should at least ask the cover designer to read the freaking book. I look at this cover and I see dark and sinister, this story is so far from that concept. I was actually pleasantly surprised when it did not meet my expectations of the cover.
The story was great, there seems to be a lot of reaper books out lately. I mean “Grim” when I say reaper. At first I was getting a bit miffed with the reaper and her staff I had to think, If I was performing a job day after day for a thousand years I’d might start acting bitchy and cranky too. The story follows Rosie who has died and how she has to perform the tasks of taken souls for the Reaper in order to advance to a more peaceful death. Quiet a concept where you have to do a bit of work after you die and it’s not easy work either. This story made me tear up and even go awhhh, that usually never happens when I read a book. (
