Product Information

This guide was made with the following version of this book: Albom, Mitch. The Next Person You Meet In Heaven. New York: Harper, 2018. Twelve hours left. Annie and Paulo took the dance floor, beneath strings of white bulbs. Paulo raised an arm and said, Ready? and Annie remembered a night in a junior high school gymnasium, when she marched up to Paulo and said, You’re the only boy who talks to me, so tell me right now if you will dance with me, yes or no, because otherwise I’m gonna go home and watch TV.

We are blinded by our regrets. We don't realize who else we punish while we're punishing ourselves." The book started like I was reading a fast-paced horror thriller! I was like "slow down and let me breath for a moment!" Annie regained consciousness but found herself in a swirl of blue colors and sounds. She had no body and when the blue faded away, she was in a train with a young boy, Sameer. Though she could not talk, Sameer could hear her thoughts. He told her he was the first person she would meet in heaven but he did not tell her anything about Paulo. He was supposed to teach her a lesson and he showed a younger version of him running alongside a speeding train, only to have his arm ripped off when he grabbed a railing. Sameer explained that his accident allowed doctors to work on new methods of replanting limbs. Inspired by his accident, Sameer grew up to become a doctor specializing in re-plantation. He showed her laying in the hospital bed as a young girl, revealing that it was he who operated on her hand. With the revelation, Annie's damaged hand appeared and Sameer reminded her that life is built on the foundations laid by who came before. Who knew us better than ourselves,right? This particular quote made me asked myself why can’t we just be ourselves and be a living proof of truth? Why is it very natural for us to cover the flaws of our real identity in front of someone other than ourselves? Adulthood is more complicated than childhood therefore secrets are definitely harder to handle than keeping a child secret. Most often, whenever adults try to keep the secret as secret as possible, the cause will be a lie, one lie after another. We try to be the other version of ourselves so others will believe and see us differently than who we truly are even though it already takes away our self truth. “The wrongs we do open doors to do right.” I just don’t like Annie. I understand her but she is so selfish and annoying. I get it that after the accident, she was depressed but just cannot tolerate her whining behavior to her mother. She did have a redemption arc at the end but it’s nothing great.Eddie arrives in Heaven, where he meets "the Blue Man." The Blue Man explains that Eddie is about to journey through Heaven's five levels, meeting someone who has had a significant impact upon his life or someone on whom his life had a significant impact. Eddie asks why the Blue Man is his first person, and he informs Eddie that, when Eddie was very young, he caused the car accident that killed him. From this, Eddie learns his first lesson: there are no random events in life and all individuals and experiences are connected in some way. The third person she met in heaven was her mother. Her mother explained why she is not a good mother over Annie that made her hate her mother and going by her first boyfriend, Walt. Annie told her secret that she has a baby with her first husband before meeting Paolo and her baby died because his lungs are not yet developed. Annie accepted and forgave her mother for the first time. The fourth person she met in heaven is Eddie, the one who saved Annie from Freddie’s Free Fall and the main character in the first novel. He explains his story like he met five people in his life and asking each of them if Annie was alive. He explains fully Freddy’s Fall accident that Eddie’s life was put to an end and knowing his purpose on his job, protecting kids. The last person she met in heaven was her husband, Paolo. Annie realized that he died before she could save him. She woke up from the hospital, knowing that her husband died. Although the ending is a sad one, it replaces it with a happy one as she had a daughter named Giovanna. Fifteen years ago, in Mitch Albom’s beloved novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran- turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie’s journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Mitch Albom reveals Annie’s story. Eddie meets his late wife, Marguerite. They remember their wedding, and Marguerite teaches Eddie that love is never lost in death; it just moves on and takes a different form.

This is a story about a woman named Annie, and it begins at the end, with Annie falling from the sky. Because she was young, Annie never thought about endings. She never thought about heaven. But all endings are also beginnings. She was such a bitch to her mother (her mother sacrificed so much but she was so ungrateful and rude her her- my Asian genes are screaming) If you knew you were about to die, how would you spend your final hours? Annie, who did not know, spent hers getting married. As the novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding night day ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey—and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed.

The story follows what the title says. It's about the next five people the one who's leaving is going to meet and learn some important life lessons. I won't give away much because of spoilers, but as it states in the blurb, on Annie's wedding night, her life is changed forever, and she dies. The accident made news around the state. Journalists labeled Annie The Little Miracle of Ruby Pier. Strangers prayed for her. Some even sought an encounter, as if, through being saved, she held a secret to immortality.

Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us that not only does every life matter,but that every ending is also a beginning—we only need to open our eyes to see it. You might say that is too young to die. But what is too young for a life? As a child, Annie had been spared from death once, in another accident at a place called Ruby Pier, an amusement park by a great gray ocean. Some said her survival was a miracle. As a nurse, Annie wore blue scrubs and gray running shoes to her job at a nearby hospital. And it was at that hospital where she would leave this world—after a dramatic and tragic accident—one month shy of her thirty-first birthday. A pipe cleaner rabbit—like the one Paulo just gave her—had been in Annie’s hands the day of the fateful accident, a gift from the whiskered old man she was seeing now at her wedding.Since that day in her childhood, Annie's life has been rough. Her mum was constantly off with boyfriends, and set Annie really strict rules on not leaving the house, and socializing in an effort to protect her. But someone interrupted, "You look so beautiful! —a teenaged cousin with braces on her teeth—and Annie smiled and silently mouthed, Thank you." I absolutely love The Five People You Meet in Heaven and this is set up as a sequel to that one. We follow Annie, the young girl whose life was saved by Eddie that day on the pier.

The sequel of “The Five People You Meet In Heaven” by Mitch Albom which is “The Next Person You Meet In Heaven” is focusing on Annie’s story which Eddie saved from Freddy’s Free Fall accident. The prequel focuses on meeting Eddie’s people that are important in his life and learning from the lessons of life. In this sequel, Annie saw and met people that are important in her life and learning her life and her story. As Annie learns, we can be forgiven. There are reasons why we are here that perhaps we never really thought about. There are people we have come across perhaps for only a minute of time that we have affected in a most positive manner and just like Annie we need to forgive ourselves. While we might have done bad things, we also might have done really wonderful things as well. The story begins with a countdown to Annie's death. A nurse, Annie wed Paulo, a man she had met while in grade school. They married with 14 hours left until the end, and in the intervening time, Annie felt a sense of foreboding when she saw a seemingly familiar old man in her wedding audience. Annie further felt an inexplicable sense of dread when Paulo gave her a rabbit made from pipe cleaners. As a child, Annie had been given the same gift by Eddie, a maintenance man at an amusement park and the man who saved her life from a falling roller coaster car. Eddie died in the accident and she temporarily lost her hand, but Annie remembered nothing of the incident, only carrying a scarred hand from the accident. After leaving her uncle Dennis, Annie and Paulo drove away in their limousine but their driver became lost on the way. They encountered a man who ran a hot air balloon business, Tolbert, with a punctured tire and Annie urged Paulo to help him. Paulo helped Tolbert, who in turn saved Paulo from a speeding car. Once at their hotel, Annie, determined to prolong their wedding night, urged Paulo to take a balloon ride with her, having received Tolbert's business card.Eddie finds himself outside a diner, where he sees his father through a window. A well-dressed woman named Ruby appears and introduces herself to him. Ruby explains that Ruby Pier was named after her by her husband Emile, who built it in tribute to her. Ruby shows Eddie the true cause of his father's death, which is different from what he had always believed. She tells Eddie that he needs to forgive his father. In Mitch Albom’s beloved novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran-turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie’s journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Albom reveals Annie’s story.
