It reminded me a lot of Unwrapping Hank. It's useless to deny it: I love hunky and apparently tough guys who are marshmallows inside they and lose their marbles for the twink but are so insecure they can't push themselves to reach for what they desire.
The idea is hot but also so adorbs I can't help myself. And Eli is a master at this. And I love how she writes, she captures my attention until the very end, so my only option is to finish the book, that's all.
The after-death issue is a well-used trick, but it was fun and believable, and not even the philosophical parts were discouragingly pretentious, as usually happens with these matters.

I also liked how this insensitive asshole, Brian, finally redeems himself when he sees beauty in what Brian and Kevin find together. The bullying scenes made me sick and uneasy, but the sweetness after all that ugliness, and the sense of belonging, made it up for me.
I'd have loved to see more of Kevin and Chunk together. They are not the MC of this story, just Brian's quest and ticket to go to Heaven, so I felt they weren't given the importance they deserved. I admit I would have loved a whole book focusing on them after Brian passes the test.
