Amber is self centered, self pleasing, manipulating things and people to her advantage. But with a little self inspection, or maybe a lot, when she meets Death, perhaps there is something underneath all of those layers. Honestly the blurb does a good job at teasing what the story is about, and on that it delivers well.

11 hours isn't a lot, but that is where the bulk of the story takes place, as Amber is forced to reflect on her life and choices, and learn along the way, with Death at her side. It's interesting and amusing, some of what she got up to, and mildly horrifying in other cases. She doesn't start off as a 'good' person, per se, but Amber grows during the course of the story - a lot, and that in itself in wonderful to see.

There is, of course, a measure of romance here in the book as well, that accompanies her growth, and it is sweet to see, for both sides of it, and rather heartwarming, and I have to say that the ending wasn't quite what I expected. But I was also very happy with it. (The sections leading up towards the end were also rather emotional, and certainly had me forming tears).

I wasn't completely sure what I would be getting myself into when I started this book, but I was pleasantly surprised, and I did, in fact, really enjoy the book. It's engaging, emotional, and a very interesting journey of growth and love. Jean348 9
