Book Overview

Death is what happens while you're busy making other plans. Coming home from a Hawaiian vacation with her best girlfriends, Lucy Fisher is stunned to find everything she owns tossed out on her front lawn, the locks changed, and her fiance's phone disconnected-plus she's just lost her job. With her world spinning wildly out of her control, Lucy decides to make a new start and moves upstate to live with her sister and nephew. But then things take an even more dramatic turn- A fatal encounter with public transportation lands Lucy not in the hereafter but in the nearly hereafter. She's back in school, learning the parameters of spooking and how to become a successful spirit in order to complete a ghostly assignment. If Lucy succeeds, she's guaranteed a spot in the next level of the afterlife-but until then, she's stuck as a ghost in the last place she would ever want to be. Trying to avoid being trapped on earth for all eternity, Lucy crosses the line between life and death and back again when she returns home. Navigating the perilous channels of the paranormal, she's determined to find out why her life crumbled and why, despite her ghastly death, no one seems to have noticed she's gone. But urgency on the spectral plane-in the departed person of her feisty grandmother, who is risking both their eternal lives-requires attention, and Lucy realizes that you get only one chance to be spectacular in death.

And they all died happily everafter

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 25, 2010

What can you say about a story that doesn't really start going until the main character dies? A whole lot of fun! I fell in love with Lucy and all her friends at Ghost School but I also couldn't wait for her to start her "haunting assignment" because I knew that the answers as to why her life fell apart had to be found there. And the author reveals those answers like any good mystery writer would-slowly, a little bit...

A fun read!

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 18, 2010

I was excited when I saw Laurie Notaro had written a novel, as I had read her "Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club" last year and laughed myself silly. Lucy Fisher is the main character and as the book opens she is returning from a vacation with some girlfriends as a celebration before she gets married to her boyfriend, Martin. The vacation does not go as planned, so she is rather anxious to be back home with Martin and...

A Unique Idea Always Wins

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 18, 2010

I've known a lot of would-be writers who have wondered what the magic formula is that will make their novel a best-seller, instead of one that languishes on the back shelves of the local book store. There are a few things that you can do that will make your novel stand out, and one of the most important is to give the readers something that they haven't seen before - something that is a different than most of the stories that...

And then what would you do if when you went back to work only to find out you've been accused of embezzling and then you test positive for a drug you've not used since...

A fun read that should please most fans

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 4, 2010

I love Laurie Notaro. I mean it. I've been a fan of hers ever since I picked up We Thought You Would Be Prettier years ago. She's gifted at writing about her life. I have to admit though... I was a little leery of whether or not she'd be able to write a fictional book. (Spoiler: She is more than able.) The book follows Lucy, a young woman who is literally having the worst luck ever. First she's thrown out of her house by...
