Having just finished reading Claudia Carroll's brilliantly funny Do You Want To Know a Secret? (Review coming soon!) I was delighted to hear the news of Claudia's latest offering - If This is Paradise, I Want My Money Back - which is due to hit the shelves in June.
Okay, so we've got a while to wait, but judging by the blurb, it's going to be good...
Charlotte Grey is hovering between life and death, but the weird thing is, it's taken a coma for her to finally open her eyes and see things clearly. Namely that she's made a complete mess of her short time on Earth, and don't even get her started on the five precious dating years she's just wasted on the worthless, faithless James Kane. But after a quick peek at the afterlife, she decides that it's not all it's cracked up to be either. Kind of like a big retirement home in the sky, with an awful lot of bingo and bridge and absolutely no sign of Elvis/Princess Di/Kurt Cobain or anyone it would actually be nice to spend eternity with. So when Charlotte is offered a chance to go back to Earth, this time as a bonafide angel, she jumps at it. But there's a catch. The person she's assigned to watch over is ...a certain James Kane; which is where the fun really starts. Well, just because she's passed on doesn't necessarily mean she's moved on, does it?
