What if everything in this life was really just a test, a training ground if you will for another life on another realm of existence? That is the underlying premise behind the love story in This Morning I Woke Up Dead. It is an emotional journey with Hadley who has passed on and the love of her life Dominic who was left behind.
Ms. Larson has created not only this world but one before and one after as part of her story, it is heartbreaking as well as heartwarming. It is a wonderful love story that transcends death. With secondary characters also tied into the story in surprising ways it draws you in. Be sure to have some tissues handy when you read this.
I at first had difficulty wrapping my head around what the author was trying to convey by saying we were all already dead and there are a few places that I felt the story slowed down quite a bit. However overall this is a good read and an emotional offering by a new indie-author.
