About this audiobook
Beatrice Fox deserves to go straight to hell.
At least, that's what she believes. Her last day on Earth, she ruined the life of the person she loves most--her little sister, Emmy. So when Bea awakens from a fatal car accident to find herself on an airplane headed who knows where, she's confused, to say the least.
Once on the ground, Bea receives some truly harrowing news: she's in purgatory. If she ever wants to catch a flight to heaven, she'll have to help five thousand souls figure out what's keeping them from moving on.
But one of Bea's first assignments is Caleb, the boy who caused her accident, and the last person Bea would ever want to send to the pearly gates. And as much as Bea would love to see Caleb suffer for dooming her to a seemingly endless future of eating bad airport food and listening to other people's problems, she can't help but notice that he's kind of cute, and sort of sweet, and that maybe, despite her best efforts, she's totally falling for him.
From debut author Gabby Noone comes a darkly hilarious and heartfelt twist on the afterlife about finding second chances, first loves, and new friendships in the most unlikely places.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was instantly intrigued by this book’s pretty cover and the fact that it had a different concept from the norm such as set in the afterlife. It does have The Good Place vibes which is a series I enjoyed! Beatrice dies and has to stay in purgatory which is an airport terminal in which some are awaiting their flight to heaven. Not her though! She has to atone for her sons by helping 5,000 souls figure out what keeping them from moving on. Caleb is one of the souls, she has to help, but recognizes him in some way. How will Beatrice’s choices change in purgatory?? Read more to find out! I did like seeing her growth in the afterlife! The description of jello foods in the story was weird! Did not seem appetizing to me. Yuck! This book was such an easy read. I breezed right through it in just one day! I loved that it had the perfect amount of comedy and romance in this depressing situation. The ending could have been better but I’m content. Check out this story if you want something a little different.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5When Bea dies in a car accident, she finds herself in airport purgatory. In order to leave purgatory, she is tasked with helping five thousand people shift through their memories and find closure. When she is tasked with helping Caleb, she quickly realizes that he was the one driving the car that killed her. The setting was pretty interesting but that was about it. The characters were pretty stereotypical and the plot was a bit predictable. The plot and characters needed more depth, more dimension to hold my interest. The book was quick paced and easy to read. I see its appeal for a middle school audience, it just wasn't for me.
