Do They Wear High Heels in Heaven? tells the story of Lily Waters a single mother who at the age of 40 discovers she has breast cancer. The story is told from the alternating viewpoints of Lily and her best friend Michael. As Lily begins to put her affairs in order, she decides she wants her children to have Michael as their guardian rather than the father who abandoned them.

I think possibly my favourite chapter is where Lily lists the questions she's going to ask God if she makes it into heaven - including the question that forms the title of the book. This is where the book worked for me - getting this small insight into her character and how she is feeling. Reading through the questions you get the sense of Lily accepting her fate, whilst at the same time not wanting to.

Whilst I was reading this book I enjoyed it, and felt I was getting an insight into Lily's life. At it's heart the story can be viewed as the love story of best friends, and how in times of adversity we often discover who our real friends are. I'm not usually a sappy person, but was reduced to tears at several points, so the book did have an emotional impact. It was only after I finished it I realised I didn't know Lily or her family as well as I'd like. In fact I think as a reader I only skimmed the surface. Whether this is a problem with the authors style or the book just wasn't long enough to accomodate the story I don't know. I just wish we had got into Lily's mind a little deeper as I think it would have made for a more satisfying read.
