Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, tender and edgy, this inventive romance asks what it means to be truly happy.
Tegan Masters is dead.
She’s sixteen and she’s dead and she’s standing in the parking lot of the Marybelle Motor Lodge, the single most depressing motel in all of New Jersey and the place where Tegan spent what she remembers as the worst weekend of her life.
Tegan isn’t particularly happy about this. At all.
In the front office, she meets Zelda, an annoyingly cute teen angel with a snarky sense of humour and an epic set of wings. According to Zelda, Tegan is in heaven, where every person inhabits an exact replica of their happiest memory.
But reconciling with her past, might just lead Tegan, and Zelda, to a happily-ever-afterlife …
