Publisher's summary

The Number 1 Sunday Times best seller.

Your soul is too heavy to pass through this door;
leave the weight of the world in the world from before.

Evie Snow is 82 when she quietly passes away in her sleep, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. It's the way most people wish to leave the world but when Evie reaches the door of her own private heaven, she finds that she's become her 27-year-old self, and the door won't open.

Evie's soul must be light enough to pass through, so she needs to get rid of whatever is making her soul heavy. For Evie, this means unburdening herself of the three secrets that have weighed her down for over 50 years. She must find a way to reveal them before it's too late.

As Evie begins the journey of a lifetime, she learns more about life and love than she ever thought possible, and somehow, some way, she may also find her way back to the only man she ever truly loved....

Powerful, magical and utterly romantic, On the Other Side will transport you to a world that is impossible to forget. A love story like no other, it will have you weeping from the sheer joy and beauty of it all.

Did not enjoy!

I did not care for this book but saw it through waiting for it to pick up! The story was ridiculous and in my opinion the author immature! I felt no sympathy for the main character at all.

Needed More Work

For liking the premise as much as I did, I can't recommend this book to anyone. I've watched Carrie's vlogs in the past and enjoyed them, but i can't say the same for her book. I think an editor needed to offer more advice and cut some parts - especially the more over-the-top emotional scenes.

Most of the characters react in a very non-logical way. There's an attitude of "I'll get what I want, or I'll be miserable." There's no middle ground. The main character wants to be a professional artist, but works at a newspaper with misogynists who sexually harass her. Oh, also, this doesn't take place in a specific story line. That was confusing. It makes the heroine out to be completely incompetent or powerless.

She makes some decisions I don't agree with - for a 27-year-old. Most of the time she behaves like a child who doesn't know about paying for what you want.

So, no, I didn't care too much about this book. I gave it a 2 because I felt bad giving lower for Carrie. Hopefully the next will be better.

Simply Addictive

The sound of Carries voice is comforting and her story is marvelous. Romance captures your heart and make you want to hear more. I loved listening to it on my way home from work but once I arrived home it was hard to turn it off. I cant wait to listen to more of her books.

had a wonderful time

I loved listening to this, and I think Carrie did an awesome job narrating. I do think the book is a little more suited to preteens and up.

Magical story

I’m not sure which I liked better, the story or the narrator. Loved both. This a sweet story of enduringly love.

Love the Love!

This story was fantastic. Not exactly what I would've picked, but found on a list of 2019 best books. Enchanting from start to finish, a story that's happy and sad and has love and loss. That the author narrated was a true bonus. Loved it!

Wonderful

Absolutely wonderful! The writing style weaves more magic into this already magical story!!! Carrie has been one of my favorite youtubers for several years and I was kicking myself for not buying her books as they are being published on a yearly basis now. Always enjoy her voice so I knew I had to listen to it (much easier as well since I live in the US and her books aren't sold in stores here) can't wait until she does All They She Can See in audible!
