Summary
Seventeen-year-old RJ always gets what she wants. So when her soul is accidentally collected by a distracted Grim Reaper, somebody in the afterlife better figure out a way to send her back from the dead, or heads will roll. But in her quest for mortality, she becomes a pawn in a power struggle between an overzealous archangel and Death Himself. The tribunal presents her with two options: She can remain in the lobby where souls wait to be processed until her original lifeline expires, or she can replay three moments in her life in an effort to make choices that will result in a future deemed worthy of being saved. It sounds like a no-brainer. She'll take a walk down memory lane. How hard can changing her future be?
But with each changing moment, RJ's life begins to unravel, until this self-proclaimed queen bee is a social pariah. She begins to wonder if walking among the living is worth it if she has to spend the next 60 years as an outcast. Too quickly RJ finds herself back in limbo, her time on Earth once again up for debate.
RJ is a snarky, unapologetic, almost irredeemable, very real girl. Her story is funny and moving, and teens will easily connect with her plight. Prepare to meet the Grim Reaper, who's cuter than you'd expect; Hawaiian shirt-wearing Death Himself; Saint Peter (who likes to play cornhole); and Al, the handler for the three-headed hound that guards the gates of hell. This cast of characters accompanies RJ through her time in the afterlife and will do their best to gently shove her in the right direction.

Reminded me of the film A Matter of Life and Death
The story was easy to listen to and had me engrossed from the start. Only criticism I would have, would be RJ's character. I didn't find her likeable at all. How did she get to be so blasé about people and the world at such a young age and also a mean girl? I didn't care for her flippant and "to hell with everyone else" attitude and her loud mouth. But I guess she redeemed herself in the end. Well narrated and good story.

still deciding
I'm a few hours in and I'm at a, "do I continue or give up?" stage.
I'm liking where the story is going, makes a change from my usual fantasy books. But the helium pitched bubble gum narrator is excruciating, add that to the very unlikeable entitled mean girl lead character is making it very hard to continue.
