The Next Person You Meet in Heaven Review

10/5 Stars

“Because we embrace our scars more than our healing. [...] We can recall the exact day we got hurt, but who remembers the day the wound was gone?” 
(My FAVORITE quote from this book.)

I’m always wowed by Mitch Albom.  Has he ever written a book that wasn’t tear-inducingly touching?  That’s a rhetorical question because we all know the answer is a resounding NO.  And this book is no exception.  It is the PERFECT follow-up to The Five People You Meet in Heaven, as you’ll get to catch up with some familiar and beloved characters.  Mitch Albom so skillfully paralleled the plotline and sequencing from the first book, and per usual, includes some stellar one-liners.  You will love all the new characters you meet, and you will be personally impacted by all these characters.  I loved this book, and words can’t do it justice.  If you ignore every other review of mine, that’s fine.  Just read this one.  It’s short, but it has the power to change your way of thinking.  Soak it all in.  And when you’re done, pour it all. (Through your tears.)

All my love,
