Somehow, Brie must handle all of this while navigating through the five steps of grief with the help of Patrick, her mysterious bomber-jacketed guide to the afterlife. But how is she supposed to face the Ever After with a broken heart and no one to call her own?<br> <br> <br> “This debut is a fast, twisty, highly dramatic read about the turbulent nature of love.”—<i>Romantic Times</i><br> <br> “Rothenberg explores what happens in the afterlife when you aren’t quite done with your life.”—<i>San Franscisco Chronicle</i><br> <br> “The funniest, sweetest, most heartfelt, sigh-worthy and oh-so romantic story I’ve ever read. You’ll love it!”—Cynthia Leitich Smith, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Eternal and Blessed</i><br> <br> <br>
