Book News: If This Is Paradise… by Claudia Carroll

Posted By Leah on April 1st, 2009

Claudia Caroll, actress and author of He Loves Me Not… He Loves Me, The Last of the Great Romantics, Remind Me Again Why I Need a Man?, I Never Fancied Him Anyway and Do You Want to Know a Secret? has a new novel out one June 4th called If This Is Paradise, I Want My Money Back! The blurb reads:

Charlotte Grey is hovering between life and death, but the weird thing is, it’s taken a coma for her to finally open her eyes and see things clearly. Namely that she’s made a complete mess of her short time on Earth, and don’t even get her started on the five precious dating years she’s just wasted on the worthless, faithless James Kane. But after a quick peek at the afterlife, she decides that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be either. Kind of like a big retirement home in the sky, with an awful lot of bingo and bridge and absolutely no sign of Elvis/Princess Di/Kurt Cobain or anyone it would actually be nice to spend eternity with. So when Charlotte is offered a chance to go back to Earth, this time as a bonafide angel, she jumps at it. But there’s a catch. The person she’s assigned to watch over is …a certain Mr James Kane. Which is where the fun really starts. Well, just because she’s passed on doesn’t necessarily mean she’s moved on, does it?

It sounds quite interesting and if the two bookshops here get it in (they’re only second-hand bookshops) I will buy and read it. I haven’t read any of Claudia Caroll’s novels so will try and get a few to see if I enjoy them.
