Welcome to Heaven. Use your Wishberry to hustle up whatever you want. Have an online chat with God. Visit the attractions such as Retail Rapture, Wrath of God miniature golf and Nocturnal Theater, where nightly dreams are translated to film. You can also see souls being born!
Your greeter might just be Skye Sebring who advises her newly dead clients on what to expect now that they’re expired.
Heaven is so different from Earth where chaos reigns. Unfortunately for Skye, she’s been chosen to live her first life. She’s been ordered to attend Earth 101 classes, which teach all of the world’s greatest philosophies through five Beatles songs.
Skye has no interest in Earthly pursuits, until Ryan Blaine briefly becomes her client after a motorcycle accident. Just as they are getting to know each other, he is revived and sent back to Earth.
Skye follows Ryan’s life via the TV channel “Earthly Pleasures,” but discovers he has a wife as well as a big secret. Why is he calling a show for the lovelorn to talk about the lost love of his life?
Earthly Pleasures is by far one of the most enjoyable books I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a long time. I laughed so hard all the way through this masterpiece. Neches gives us a wonderful version of life after life that’ll keep you entranced all the way to the end. Definitely a keeper for me!
