Macy Elaine Rain is killed when she swerves in front of a truck while simultaneously taking a selfie and trying to avoid hitting a squirrel. Much to her delight, heaven is a pretty cool place. There is even romance with musician John Wayne Worth. But even that does not distract her from what she was trying to do before the ill-fated photo. She had been heading to the police department to report that a depressed classmate was threatening to kill himself and others at their school. How can she possibly stop him now? Fortunately her "tour guide," Samuel, helps her communicate with Ryan by supernatural means, and his plans change drastically even though he has no idea why. Although she is still dead, Macy could not be happier.The tale is written in prose which occasionally breaks into rhyme. Serious topics such as the dangers of distracted driving, death, murder/suicide, and the nature of the afterlife are touched on throughout with what seems to be a lighthearted tone. Because they are not being preached at, readers may find themselves dwelling on lessons to be learned from Macy. Each short chapter uses a hashtag as a title. Macy is a winsome and sympathetic character, a perfect match for the caring (and cute) John Wayne. A refreshing and sweet short read, this is one of the titles in the Gravel Road Verse series.
