REVIEW~ ALL MY RESTLESS LIFE TO LIVE BY DEE DETARSIO

Award-winning author Dee DeTarsio combines life’s darker side with humor and tenderness in a wonderfully charming look at love and the afterlife.

Life is a soap opera, especially for Elle Miller, who is a TV producer. (Ellen dropped the “n” in her name in hopes of finding a better ending for herself.) When her laptop crashes, she borrows her dead dad’s computer and gets way more than she bargained for.

As Elle tries to save her career with a storyline featuring a trip through Atlantis, she takes a trip to the Emmys, and finds herself in the middle of a romance between a real doctor and a hunk who just plays one on TV. Friends, family, and clues from “the other side” all help Elle figure out the difference between living the good life . . .  and living a good life.

So at first I didn't think I could get I to this book. About half way through, it seemed to come around. I really didn't care for the ending but that may be because of the prologue in the beginning. It says there is more there and the end says so, but the book really gives nothing as to why for the prologue.

Over all though, the book is well written. It is told from Ellen's point of view. It has done very comical parts, but at time I think is too wordy. I think it could use some further development or for the next book to be well developed and intriguing.
