    About this ebook

    'What if your soulmate had never been born?'

    Katie is thirty-two, single and used to work in advertising.

    She's also dead.

    Distracted by a text from an ex, she wanders into traffic and… that's it. No more dates, no more job, no more Friday night drinks with her best friend. And no more working with Jeremy, aka The One That Got Away.

    Now she's a lost soul wandering the streets of Sydney, hitching rides with the dying to find her way to... wherever she's supposed to be.

    But Heaven, it seems, is harder to get to than she's been led to believe. And who is the handsome blond stranger she keeps running into?

    It turns out life still holds surprises, even when you're dead.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
