An addictively page-turning romance for fans of Before I Fall and The Fault in Our Stars Brie is the "biggest, cheesiest, sappiest romantic" who believes that everyone will find their perfect someone. So when Jacob, the love of Brie's life, tells her he doesn't love her anymore, the news breaks her heart--literally. But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie revisits the living world to discover that her family has begun to unravel and her best friend has been keeping an intimate secret about her boyfriend. 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? "The debut is a fast, twisty, highly dramatic read about the turbulent nature of love."--Romantic Times "Rothenberg exploes what happens in the afterlife when you aren't quite done with your life."--San Francisco Chronicle "The funniest, sweetest, most heartfelt, sigh-worthy and oh-so-romantic story I've ever read. You'll love it!"--Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Eternal and Blessed

"I reread this book every couple of years & I love it every time. It’s a quick read full of an interesting plot and heartbreak. The MC has a really rough time accepting her death which makes her feel very realistic. As I’ve aged, I’ve aged up the characters in my mind and it helps because a lot of what happens doesn’t seem like things teenagers would do/say. The stakes are high & the emotions even higher. Amazing book. "

"Terrible book. I swear the author has never met or spoken to a teenager in her life. This might be a good book for younger girls but it’s just not good. Brie is childish and annoying with her little temper tantrums even tho she’s 16. She’s unnecessarily cruel at one point and it seems so out of character. she has the hobbies and interests of a 10 year old girl. It’s boring and rushed, not at all relatable and just a waste of time. "
