I have enjoyed all of Adena Halpern's books and this is her first novel. This was another quick and enjoyable read. At first the main character was so superficial that it was annoying but throughout the course of events she grows into a more likable character. In the book 29-year-old Alex and her dog, Peaches, are ran over by a MINI Cooper and wind up at the gates of heaven. All your dreams literally do come true, at least if you are in Seventh Heaven, the top plane of heaven. And to top everything of she is reunited with her grandparents and uncle and even meets a dreamy guy. Then comes the problem: In order to stay in the seventh plane of Heaven she must pass an essay exam about the 10 best days of her life. If she fails she will be demoted to the fourth level where she would have to live in a condo, have old clothes, lose her dog and her new love interest. With the essay she has to prove she led a worthwhile, purposeful, and fulfilling life. It was a very cutesy chick-lit read and looks like there may be a movie in the works, we shall see.
