|summary=Don't attempt to read this unless you have plenty of tissues and a tub of Haagan Dazs to hand. This book will utterly break your heart, but it's ultimately uplifting. A beautifully told story about relationships, grief, and moving on from a terrible tragedy. Highly recommended.

Rachel wasn't ready to drop dead at thirty-five. It's been a year since - a year she's spent trapped in some sort of netherworld that allows her brief, tantalising glimpses of the lives of those she's left behind. There's no apparent rhyme or reason to the glimpses, and Rachel wishes they were more often and lasted longer.
