Ryan Standley’s What I Did After I Died offers a fresh and imaginative take on the afterlife through the eyes of Kevin, a man unaware of his own death. When Kevin stumbles upon a clue leading to a crashed plane filled with gold, he enlists his family in an unconventional treasure hunt. Their journey is packed with humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments, making the story both entertaining and deeply touching.

The narrative captures an intriguing premise—what would you do if you didn’t know you were dead? Kevin’s obliviousness adds a layer of comedy to the tale, while the treasure hunt serves as a backdrop for exploring family dynamics. The family’s antics, mishaps, and clever teamwork are not only amusing but also showcase their deep bonds.

Standley excels at weaving humor into heartfelt moments, creating a story that’s as emotionally resonant as it is entertaining. Despite its brevity, the story delivers a satisfying experience. The fast-paced plot keeps readers engaged from start to finish, even though some sections feel a bit rushed. However, this pacing adds to the book’s charm, making it easy to dive in and lose yourself in Kevin’s afterlife escapades.

For anyone who enjoys treasure hunts, quirky adventures, or a quick and delightful read, What I Did After I Died is a great choice. Standley’s blend of humor, warmth, and clever storytelling ensures a memorable experience. I recommend this book and eagerly look forward to reading more from the author.
