I think its the best book I've ever read. Its about a girl who was raped and murdered and shes watching her family on Earth from Heaven. It's a really emotional book that I tried to read when I was younger.. but I just picked it up and I could finally get it. I cried so many times. And it gaves me such an outlook on life. I mean... wow, just wow. Thats what i had to say. I read it in one day (yesterday).. and I'm kindof sad that its through.
What happens: Susie gets murdered and finds herself in her own heaven. (Ill let the book describe that to you) She watches her family struggle down on Earth. Her 14 year old sister, Lindsey, has the greatest struggle of all... she's lost a sister, a best friend.. and in the midst of her depression she gets a boyfriend and they.. you know. Her litle brother Buckley doesnt really understand.. and as he grows up he starts to care less and less about Susie. Her mother just simply cant take it and has an affair with the cop whos investigating susies case, and then she runs away to california. Susie watches her family grow... her sister get married.. her dad has a heartattack (but doesnt die).. Buckley grows into a young gentleman. And in the midst of all of this her family learns to move on... giving Susie their condolences.. and as shes pleased with what shes watched over the years.. she finally moves on.. out of her heaven.. and into real heaven.
