I Hated Heaven

Tom Waring, true believer, is in Heaven, but it doesn’t feel like it. Before he died, he promised his wife April (a reluctant agnostic) that if there really was an afterlife, he’d come back and tell her all about it. But Heaven isn’t all angelic choruses, harps and haloes—it’s more like a cross between IBM and the DMV. Tom is issued a cell phone, a day planner, sent to school and given a job. In short, Heaven is more like graduate school than Sunday School.

And when his request to return to Earth is routinely denied, Tom must risk everything— even is very soul— to break out of Heaven and return to Earth in order to keep his promise to April.

Full of fascinating characters, plot twists galore, a quirky look at Heaven, and a marvelous surprise ending, I HATED HEAVEN surprises and elicits laughter and tears. This is like no book you’ve ever read--a romantic adventure that makes you think.
