If this is Paradise, I want my money back! by Claudia Carroll

Following a car accident Charlotte has extensive injuries and is in a coma.  She heads towards the whiteness and meets up, in the afterlife, with her Dad who has been dead for a number of years.  They spend a lot of time together whilst they are waiting for Charlotte to be assessed.  As there's not a lot to do whilst waiting, Charlotte is offered a chance to do some Angelic Work Experience (AWE) back on earth.  She jumps at the chance and is given some training.  When she is ready to begin she is allocated her 'charge'.  To her horror this turns out to be James Kane, her cheating boyfriend of the last 5 years.  

Going completely against the rules of the AWE Charlotte sees her opportunity to have some fun with James and to get her own back for the way he has treated her over the last few years.  She is also able to visit and watch over her closest friend and family.  

This is quite a quirky story with Charlotte trying to help her friend Fi to find love as well as taunting James for his bad behaviour and arrogance.  

I have read a few other Claudia Carroll novels - A Very Accidental Love Story, Personally I Blame My Fairy Godmother, The Last of the Great Romantics and All I Want for Christmas (a very short Christmas story).  On my bookshelf waiting to be read are Remind Me Again Why I Need a Man and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?  
Claudia Carroll has some very long and unusual titles for her books.  Her stories are unusual and imaginative.
