'The perfect blend of funny, smart and --sob -- pass the Kleenex, this might just be the best chicklit debut of the year.' (DAILY RECORD )

'The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it had to end. This is a very strong debut and one that I highly, highly recommend.' (CHICKLITCLUB )
'The story is told with a light touch and buckets of humour. Beware - once you have started it, you will not be able to put it down This novel is a real treat to savour.' (BOOKERSATZ )

Format:Paperback
Reading this novel, for me, was like watching someone else's child graduating with full honours. I've followed Cally Taylor's process writing Heaven Can Wait and was very excited about finally getting to read it. I was a little worried about the supernatural content (as I've been disappointed with supernatural content in books before) but my worries were soon unfounded as from the first chapter I was hooked. The supernatural content was handled very well and it's a credit to Taylor's writing style that this is probably the best supernatural chicklit/womens fiction novel I've read.
Right from the beginning, I got sucked into the world of the main character, Lucy. I was able to connect with the character straight away. That for me is a sign that the book is a winner. I saw Lucy's traits in me; daft things she said, using wrong words and making silly mistakes...for a dead character she came across as very real!
I managed to read this book in little under 24 hours. But saying that, I did very little else but read in that time. I couldn't put this book down. Whenever I did put it down, I wanted to pick it up again immediately. I needed to know what happened next.
I laughed. I cried. This book made me feel very grateful for the people I have in my life. For you don't know when an accident could take them away.
All in all, this book is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lucy Brown is a likeable character and you really want to know what happens to her. I think the author handled comedy and tears well, but I felt some of the comedy scenes were put in just for effect. They didn't really add anything to the story and stuck out a bit as odd.
It was entertaining though, and I'll certainly try another book of Cally Taylor's.

From the first page, this book drew me in and as a result, I read it in just two (rather long) sittings. There are so many clever touches and laugh out loud moments that every chapter was a new delight and I couldn't wait to see how Lucy dealt with the challenges she faced. The secondary characters were appealing, too; I cared about what happened to them and was glad that trouble was taken to resolve many of their issues.
I thoroughly recommend this book - it will transport you into Lucy's world and have you rooting for her from the very beginning. Buy it - you won't regret it!
