Heaven is Small by Emily Schultz

I loved this book from the very first line: "Moments after his death, an event he had failed to notice, Gordon Small sought new employment." He is hired by Heaven Book Company and sets to work as a proof reader of Romance novels.

From there, his new life could commence and follow a day to day routine, but Gordon notices inconsistencies; the cigarette package that never empties, employees who wear the same thing everyday and bring the same sandwich for lunch etc.. As he wasn't satisfied in life, Gordon isn't satisfied in death. He sets out to get himself published and when he does succeed all of Heaven panics.

I read this as a fun, light-hearted book. I didn't go searching for deeper meaning or lessons to be learned. Would highly recommend this non-romance novel.

I will definitely be looking forward to seeing this one on 'the big screen.
