5⭐️ and I'd rate it higher if I could!
Lily is going to die. She's not happy about it (in fact, she's incandescently angry at the medical insurance industry that caused her to be in this situation), but with her body wasting away, she's ready for the pain to be over. When she arrives in the afterlife, it becomes clear that the strict christian upbringing she escaped was dead wrong about everything.
Struggling to settle in to this new reality, and with no small amount of spite towards all the people in her adolescence who warned her this would happen, she decides to visit Hell. She finds that demons are just as respectful as they are terrifying and that souls sent for punishment are the very worst customers!
Having spent her mortal life battling many proverbial Karens and searching for purpose, she offers to lend a hand dealing with the worst of the complainants. As she meets deities, denizens, and one particularly adorable lost child, she begins to find that the family you can find in the afterlife can give you all that you wanted in life and more.
This is a beautiful work of fiction that covers trauma with tenderness, demonstrates the very greenest of green flag relationships, and deals so much humour and nerdiness. This is easily one of my favourite books of 2025 and I lost count of the number of times it brought me to tears (C18!) and had me laughing out loud.
I'll add an admission that I'm biased positively towards this book, because I adore Jaysea's TikTok series that this is a prequel to. However, while the nostalgia factor and joy of seeing Lily's entry to the afterlife contributed to the enjoyment - this book fully stands on its own merits as a fantastic work of fantasy romance!
