The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand

The Afterlife of Holly Chase

by Cynthia Hand

Holly Chase has the job of saving souls, but it is her own that she realizes needs examining.
On Christmas Eve five years ago, Holly was visited by three ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she'd become. They tried to convince her to mend her ways.

She didn't.

And then she died.

Now she's stuck working for the top-secret company Project Scrooge--as the latest Ghost of Christmas Past.

Every year, they save another miserly grouch. Every year, Holly stays frozen at seventeen while her family and friends go on living without her. So far, Holly's afterlife has been miserable.

But this year, everything is about to change

What a fun and different spin on one of my favorite classics!

I am such a fan of the the Scrooge Project process. Finding the Scrooge, the uncle, the Tiny Tim, etc - I was fully enthralled by it. But, what I really loved was seeing Holly FINALLY coming to terms with the person she was before her afterlife. It was great the way helping this particular Scrooge made her see those flaws in herself, and also made her realize how many wonderful people she had in her life.

It was quite a journey through Holly's afterlife, but what a beautiful journey it was. There were quite a few lovely and emotional moments, and a lot more amusing moments. But the ending! Fantastic!
