Summary

Heavenly writing, earthy characters, and humor that is wicked as hell. Heidi is seventeen. Insecure. Unkissed. Unremarkable, she thinks, in every way but one: She has a guardian angel, Jerome, who whispers in her ear all day long, amusing her, confusing her, but hardly ever saying anything that might help her discover who she's meant to be. Jerome is also seventeen (for the seventeenth year in a row.) There is only one thing he needs to do to graduate from heaven's soul rehabilitation program for wayward teenagers: Follow the 10 Commandments for the Dead, and in doing so, keep Heidi safe. Instead, he accidentally lets her drown. Plucked from her body before she ever truly lives, Heidi wants more than anything to say goodbye to her family and best friend. Jerome, afraid he's going to be sent to the lowest level of Hell, wants to sneak her into heaven before he gets caught. Neither realizes that Heidi has only 24 hours before her soul dissolves forever. And that might not be enough time for them to figure out how they were meant to live.

Excerpts

From Devine Intervention

She finally spoke in a low and terrible voice. "Did you know about this?"

"About what?" From experience I knew the best answer to this question was usually "no."

"About what happens to souls if they don't go to heaven in twenty-four hours."

"Uhhh," I said.

"Jerome!" she said. "My soul will DISSIPATE in twenty-four hours if I don't get into Heaven! Do you even know what that means?" She was shouting at me.

"No?" I said.

She started crying again. Huge tears.

"It means," she said, stopping every once in a while, "it means I'm going to disappear. We have been goofing around and sniffing cookies and not getting any messages through to the people I love, and I have—" She stopped to look at the clock on her bedside table. "I have only about fourteen hours left until I am gone forever. FOREVER."

She crumpled herself on the floor like an old Kleenex and cried. "I hate you, Jerome. I hate you."
