Review - On the Other Side - Carrie Fletcher

Review  time!

So the first book of my August TBR was On the Other Side by Carrie Fletcher which I managed to finish in three days because I can honestly say, I absolutely loved this book! Carrie is one of my idols in life and I love her writing style. The magical  realism that she used throughout was believable (although that sounds weird) and it was so enjoyable. 

The book is about a Woman called Evie Snow who comes a rich family. She has passed away and is stuck in 'Heavens waiting room' and has to get rid of her secrets in order to be light enough to pass through to heaven. The book is her reliving her life and telling members of her family her secrets. 

This book also features LGBT+ characters and I love that. It was also written so that it wasn't all about their sexuality, it was just an extension of who they were.

I loved the characters and how they developed throughout. I got a strong sense of Carrie and her personality through Evie Snow.  I loved that her family members reacted to the secrets differently and how they coped was them was also very believable.

Overall I give, this book 5 stars. I'm so in love with the story line, the characters and their relationships. Amazing. (If you follow me on instagram you would've seen my initial reaction to the ending). You would love it if you're a fan of Cecelia Ahern or Rainbow Rowell.

I'm also off to her singing tomorrow, so if you're in Cardiff come and see me and Ren!

*** SPOILER SECTION ***

So it's going to sound strange but I liked the coldness that Evie's mum had, it showed me  why she had to prove herself.

Evie's character was amazing. I love her warmth as a character and her open mindedness to every situation. I love that she's such a considerable person. 

To be honest, I don't know which pairing I loved the most because they were amazing in all ways. Vincent and Evie was amazing because of what he did for her like the dinner date, sitting with her on the balcony and understanding her situation so well. But then again, her and Jim are such an amazing pair and they work well together because they kinda have to? That's what make them work so well. 

Sonny is also a really good character and I loved the drunken gig, it was absolutely hilarious.

The best part for me was the ending and how it ended. I love that it was her own heart that made her lighter and when she went in to her heaven, Vincent was there. It just made me eternally happy.
