Here is my review for Back For Good by Jay Jacobs I really enjoyed this story which I found fascinating and totally intriguing. Sasha is feeling very unappreciated, has three young children and is unhappy with her marriage. She is on the way to the hospital to pick up her mum when she is in a car accident and has a near death experience. Zinnia, her trainee spirit guide, wants to help Sasha but finds she is hindered by The Spirit Guidance Rule Book. Can Zinnia lead Sasha to do the right thing? I quite liked the ‘near death experience’ and all the explanations. I enjoyed the idea of a spirit guide and the whole aspect of it. For me, it was a great story that is totally out of my normal genres but it was an easy read. I liked the author’s writing style as well. I think it's possible the author may have done some research before writing this story and it shows in the information contained in the story. I would like to read more books by this author in the future. Blurb : Sasha Denning doesn’t ask for anything—ever. Feeling unappreciated and stuck in a crumbling marriage with her husband, Mark, she’s suddenly given a dramatic escape: a near-death experience. Returning to life with a mission to help others, Sasha is thrust into a series of challenges that range from comical to heart-wrenching. Zinnia, her determined but rule-bound trainee spirit guide, wants to help Sasha mend her life and marriage. But with The Spirit Guidance Rule Book restricting her every move, Zinnia faces her own struggles to prove she’s ready to qualify. When disaster looms, Zinnia must decide what matters most—her mission, her career, or Sasha and Mark’s future.

A heartwarming supernatural tale in which mum of three small children Sasha develops psychic powers after a serious car accident. Sasha sets out to help people whose problems she can now see but hardly knows what she’s doing. Her Spirit Guide Zinnia isn’t fully qualified and terrified of failing her exams again, so is hesitant to intervene. The resulting well-meant blundering about on both sides leads to a lot of strain on Sasha’s marriage. A thoroughly enjoyable story which manages to balance real life and small children with the mysteries of another dimension. An excellent read!

Really enjoyed this book. Overall an uplifting and fun story - once I'd started, the pages kept turning, wanting to know what happened next. Loved the character of Bernard and his comedic timing!
