So good, even he wanted to read it.The night before Lucy Brown’s wedding, she said good-bye to her fiancé Dan thinking life could not be more perfect. The next day, she was dead.
Not ready to leave Dan, she chooses to become a ghost rather than go to heaven, however she soon learns that to become a ghost she first has to complete a task; an almost impossible task and only twenty-one days in which to fulfil it. Lucy is sent to Limbo, which turns out to be a grubby flat shared with two other wannabe ghosts who have their own problems to sort out. She discovers her friend Anna has an agenda of her own and despite Lucy’s recent demise is making a move on heartbroken Dan wanting him for herself.
I was in the middle of reading another book when my exhausted postman delivered my copy of Heaven Can Wait, and knowing I had a few days off to look forward to, decided I would keep it until then. Intentions are one thing, but having gazed at the gorgeous cover, I decided to take a sneaky peek and read the first couple of lines. Two days later I finished, the other book long forgotten.
If you haven’t already bought your copy and read it – why not – you’re missing a treat. I loved Cally’s book and laughed out loud within moments of starting to read it. It’s funny, clever and thought provoking, and the ending is quite perfect.
So, for those of you who haven’t yet bought your copy, or want another one for a friend as a present. Please leave a ‘pick me’ comment by Wednesday, 11th November, and I’ll ask my daughter to pull a name out of a hat (or bowl, or something) and send the lucky winner their copy as soon as I know who it is.

Love the photo of Grumpy, a right little bookworm! Go on shove me name in your hat ;-) TFx
tf - thanks, bless him. Name going into hat asap. x
ooh! Pick me! It's on my wish-list but I can't afford it this side of next year!
It's such a fab book! And now it has Grumpy endorsement as well!
I couldn't put it down either, and like you was rewarded with the perfect ending!
(Already have my own copy, and have persuaded friends and family to buy their own, so won't enter draw. Will retweet instead!)
leatherdykeuk - will put your name into the hat and hope for the best.
helen - It was such a good book, I'm so thrilled for Cally.
leigh - many thanks for the retweeting, much appreciated.
Fabulous cover! Would make any free-thinking canine want to investigate!
I must definitely train Molls to read - she's missing out! Please Pick Me Debs -= sounds a great book!
It's on my list of books I HAVE TO READ! What a lovely idea to offer a copy - if I win I'll give it to the ghost who lives under the stairs - and hope it keeps him from untidying everything :)
Ooh pick me please, I want to take it into hospital with me.
Oh, go on, pick me! Each step if this book's blog tour gets me more intrigued!

I've read it (hence wont enter) and LOVED it and I also stopped reading other book for this one. I just couldnt resist
Pick me please! :-)
It is a marvellous book!
As I had finished it before the end of publication day I'd rather someone else had the free one so they can enjoy it too - but that doesn't mean I won't be buying copies for friends nearer Christmas time. It's made my shopping plans a whole lot simpler!
Sounds like a great read, I could read it and donate to the library.
Please count me in Debs - out here in India, there's hardly anything I'm ever eligible for.....
I too would rather someone else had the free copy, but thought I'd add my voice to the 'read it, loved it' chorus.
jan - I think he's only pretending to read. Maybe he's trying to look intellectual for once.
flowerpot, sandra, dj, valerie, sandy, cait, gaelikaa - I shall put your names into the hat.
Lily, bernadette, queenie - it was a great book, I loved it.
It sounds a bit girly so instead of my name please put Mrs Troy's name into the hat.
Grumpy is gorgeous.
troy - will do, she would love this book.
colette - thanks, he is rather adorable - when he's not barking at imaginary things.
I love the picture of Grumpy.
I won a copy of Cally's book & am reading it now. Very witty and enjoyable - a great prize but if you don't win it, buy it - is my advice.
Photo of Grumpy has meant I'm about to start work with a smile. Thanks.
I feel very guilty that I haven't bought a copy yet, but life has got in the way a bit lately so I would love to be in the draw for a copy, please!
kat - congratulations on winning a copy of Cally's book and thanks for enjoying the pic of his Grumpiness.
chrish - I'll pop your name in the hat too.
You've peaked my curiosity...I won't be able to wait until a winner is selected...Now I have to buy the book:)
This sounds like a fab read, Debs. I love the opening line. We need to put it up on my blog's opening lines day. If that is okay with you!
