All My Restless Life to Live by Dee DeTarsio
Publication date: April 29th 2013
Genres: Adult, Romance
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.

REVIEW
Funny, exciting and intriguing - this was a delightful read!
There was really nothing I didn't like about this book. It was well=paced, had a really interesting plotline, and held me captive throughout.
I enjoyed every second on the journey with Elle as she navigated the ups and downs of dating and falling in love, along with having to deal with a real eejit of a boss. (Although he was extremely entertaining!!)
The characters were all really well written and I loved the banter between them. Elle was quite a witty character, and her relationship with Adam gave me a good laugh. The things they came up with made me snort a few times, and I'm not a snorter!
There was also a serious side to this book but it was included in such a way that it didn't bog down the lightness of this story. I think we all wish to have some communication with our loved ones that have passed on, and I liked the mystery that went along with Elle and her father's laptop. Was it really him? And. what was he trying to tell her?
If you're looking for a great read that will entertain and enthrall you, look no further!
