Review: On the Other Side by Carrie H. Fletcher
Challenges: Around the Year in 52 Books: A magical realism novel Read the World: Europe (hosted over at habitica.com ) I just saw a video on Youtube about books you shouldn’t have read ( here ) and I feel like this was me and this book. I have followed Carrie on Youtube for a while now and I really enjoy her videos and her personality, so when she came out with this book in 2016 I figured I would like it too. It’s the story about a young woman who manages to negotiate her way out of her mother’s iron grip and try to create a life for herself doing what she really wants to do. We only meet this woman, Evie, after she is dead, though. She can’t get in to her personal heaven, because the secrets she has kept throughout her life are weighing her down. She must travel back and find a way to share her secrets with her loved ones in order to be able to pass through the door to heaven. We follow her a s she journeys back to the world...
