Review by Desere Steenberg
WOW WOW WOW ! This book was absolutely
brilliant ! I have before reading heard that the very first sentence will amaze
and entrance you so badly that not reading the book after that will just not be
a possibility and I thought yeah right that is going to happen ,I have never
read a book that the first sentence does it for me it is usually after about
the first 5-6 pages that it only manages to grab my full attention. I could not
have been more wrong
“ There is nothing easy about
dying, not the act itself and certainly not coming back” is the opening
sentence of this remarkable book. It tells the story of Darby who has a rather
nice OK life going for her until she finds herself in the back of an ambulance
staring at a man in light whispering “You will see them”. And then she gets
sent back to earth !
Now I do not know about you but
that to me would be downright scary and I for one would have no idea how to handle
dying and then showing back up on earth alive with all these new and
overwhelming thoughts. Not to mention a new found gift that to some people might be more of a nightmare
than a gift.
This book was such so emotional
that it had me crying my eyes out ! It showed me a whole new side of the world of
love, courage ,imagination and magic.
And seeing people die before it
actually happens was so vividly written that I could picture it happening right
in front of me ,the real trick off course being can Darby save them before it
is too late?
The ending was a true touch of
wonder .I recommend this book and author to any fan of reading!
Until then remember
that someday you might come face to face with your own little touch of Jamais
Vu.
5/5 star review
