Pinch Me
After another night of girls, music and booze, seventeen-year-old pop star Darius Zaire falls out of bed and lands on the cruddy floor of his old bedroom. No mansion, no luxury cars, no platinum records. Now he's just ordinary Darren Zegers. Some kind of nightmare has erased everything that happened to change Darren the dweeb into Darius the multimillionaire. Now Darius has to face an ordinary day in the twelfth grade, suffering through remedial English and wondering what happened to the last three years, let alone all his fans and money. He desperately wants to return to his old life, but he is starting to worry that maybe this is reality, and it was his other life that was the dream.
The Ten Best Days of My Life
Alex Dorenfield is a 29-year-old personal shopper. She lives in LA and is worried that what she is doing with her life is slightly pointless. Or at least she did - until she was killed by a Mini Cooper while walking her dog, Peaches, at four in the morning. When Alex gets to heaven she finds herself on the seventh plane, a place with no cellulite, walk-in closets, calorie-free ice-cream sundaes and a straight, single, hunky next-door neighbour. Sure, she misses her parents and is sad that she died so young, but things aren't too bad. In fact, she gets to see her grandparents again and catch up with the other people she loves who have died. Just when Alex thinks things are going to be fine, she finds out she has to earn her right to stay in this heaven - which means finding ways to right some wrongs she left behind.
