DATE READ: February 2009 (audiobook)
NOTES: I had resisted reading this book as I dislike the initial premise of a dead rape victim telling her story from heaven. But I decided to listen to it while on holiday.
Oh dear, it was all just as bad as I feared. I found the whole thing very twee and unsatisfactory. The idea of examining how a family copes after a tragedy is fine but having them spied on by the girl in heaven was just too ludicrous.
I think I missed some bits on the final disc when I fell asleep in the sun but I couldn’t be bothered to go back and listen again. What a load of tosh!
