REVIEWS

'You'll find yourself laughing one minute and crying the next'

CANDIS MAGAZINE

---

"I go through a lot of books as I write for Trashionista but HEAVEN CAN WAIT is, in all honesty, the best book I have read so far this year - in actual fact, it's one of my favourites. I couldn't put it down, and quite frankly, have never read a book that made me literally laugh and cry all the way through (let alone refuse to pee until I'd finished it all. It's that addictive.) It was such a beautiful book and brilliantly written."

'Life can wait while you're reading this fabulous story of love after death... you won't want to do anything else but race to the end. Cally Taylor has created a truly believable world beyond ours. It's warm, romantic and very funny'

KATE HARRISON
('The Secret Shopper's Revenge')

'A great bit of escapism that will have you laughing, gasping and crying. Lucy Brown is an adorable character and you will be routing for her all the way'
