Save the coal and hand this to the Christmas spirit doubters. This year’s Scrooge might change everythingThe Afterlife of Holly Chase is a witty, poignant, and insightful novel about life, love, and seizing second (or third) chances, perfect for readers who loved Before I Fall or Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares. That Ethan is the catalyst for Holly’s eventual attempts to redeem herself is a bit of tired trope, but the ending packs a twist that keeps in line with the book’s quirky earnestness. So far, Holly’s afterlife has been miserable. Holly does a bang-up job of making herself appealingly unlikable her narration is sarcastic and wry, and even her moments of self-deprecating humor carry a hint of arrogance, striking a darkly funny tone. Now she’s breaking the rules and reaching out to Ethan in the mortal world, but whether she’s trying to save his soul or selfishly assuage her loneliness is up for grabs. They tried to convince her to mend her ways.
Holly knows he’s a good kid turned awful by a tragic accident, a trajectory of events that is painfully familiar to Holly, and she sees in him a kindred spirit.
