I wasn't enjoying the book at first, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it picked up for me around the 30% mark and overall I think I liked it. 

The main character was kind of awful at the start (because she needed room to get better) and as soon as we met a few of the other focus characters of the story I felt like I could see all the scaffolding of the plot and arcs and I wasn't sure if there was enough substance to make it a compelling story. While I did turn out to be right about almost everything I predicted, I ended up somewhat enjoying the journey to get there and there was one reveal that I didn't expect.

There are definitely some odd and messy aspects of the book, but I think it does manage to succeed as a decent afterlife comedy-drama with a passable romance and charming side characters.
