Heaven Can Wait

Heaven Can Wait by Cally Taylor

I don't normally admit to reading chick lit... but I do. I find it escapist and, usually, funny, as I laugh at the mess the heroine (usually) finds herself in.

In Heaven Can Wait the heroine is in a mess because she is dead. Lucy Brown suffers a fatal accident the night before her wedding, and then has the choice to go to heaven forever or become a ghost so she cannot be separated from her true love, Dan. But in order to do that, she must find true love for a complete stranger ... and then she discovers her best friend is making a move on Dan.

Heaven Can Wait is delightful and refreshing because of its originality. Who would have thought of romance beyond the grave? Who would think of a 21 day challenge in order to stay with their true love? Who would place such an odd mix of people together and make it work?

Well, Cally Taylor did, and the result is a vibrant book of love and adventure and, thankfully, funny. And I think I laughed in all the right places. I would thoroughly recommend it as a light read - but beware! You may not be able to put it down!

Heaven Can Wait by Cally Taylor can be bought here or at all good bookshops.

    P.S. I grew up in Kenya. How about profiling Mukiwa for us?
