My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Rather than leaving a few dots unconnected, this novel offers a quick and easy read and gives an intriguing theory of what happens to a person, namely Jude, after they commit suicide. Yet, for him, all human sensitivities remain—tiredness, thirst, cold, and the need for comfort.
The clever use of conversation, this author's strength, jerks the reader between the present and the past when he links with another ethereal person: Tiffany. In each scene, we learn more about the causing factors in Jude and Tiffany's life. But why are they together in limbo? And why can Tiffany shift from place to place? Is she an angel?
Here's a story about the ramifications to loved-ones after suicide, and about working out how to prevent the need of such action from occurring. Important issues are covered: bullying, same-sex couples, abuse, and homelessness. Kindness and help leads to their mutual support and understanding in this charming story that will touch your heart.
Okay, there are a few issues, like Jude's repetitive thought process. But, some people like my husband want everything spelled out. He's lost in a plot that doesn't make things clear and can't work out what happened unless it's specified. Also, the abrupt ending after earlier elaboration caused me to search blank pages. And yet, everything worked out perfectly. Despite those matters and few spelling mistakes, this novel has a lot to offer.
