This is the UK cover (and the closest to how I dreamed the cover would look):
This is the Spanish cover (I love how they've focussed on Lucy's wedding dress. It's so pretty):
And then, yesterday, I typed the title of my book into Amazon.co.uk and saw the German cover - and the German edition isn't even out until 2010! (Interestingly the German edition is the first one to portray Lucy as a big part of the cover. To me this cover is the most classically 'chicklit'):
So, just out of curiousity, if you saw all of these covers on a shelf (and they all said 'Heaven Can Wait' rather than the translations) which one would you pick up first?

They're all pretty, but I think the first cover would attract me most!
I prefer the first, probably because it's the least chick-litty and I don't tend to read an awful lot of that genre.
I have to say, though, I finished your book in the wee small hours this morning and sobbed myself to sleep... brilliant ending! Can't wait to read your next one now.

The others are pretty but I'd definitely pick up the first one, er, first :o)
The first one is the best, but the others are so cute too. And they are all blue, my fave colour! I'm sure all the other covers are going to be great as well, I can't wait to see them! I especially can't wait to see the cover of your next book! What do you imagine, or what do you want the cover of your next novel to look like?
First one, deffo, for similar reasons to Jen :)
Okay - I'm going to be the odd ball and say the German cover is the one that would make me pick it up and flip it over to see what it's about.
I'm torn between the first two; they both have the sky shading from deep to pale in that beautiful way it does sometimes.
I'd be drawn to either of these rather ace covers.
I like the first and third ones best, but think I would go for the first a little more than the others, though they're all lovely.
Love the literal translations too, which are "the sky can hope" and "cheerfully to heavenly" !!
I think the last version gives an impression of being floaty and feminine - the first one is obviously a more domestic everyday image.
I would be more likely to pick up the last one but I'm under 30 so maybe it could depend on age?
:@) xx
I like the UK cover best, for the same reason as Jen and B :)
I definitely like the first one best;)
I like the UK one the best, as it's not obvious what genre it is. Thank god it didn't have a pink cover, otherwise I'd have got even more stick from my mates.
Heiter bis himmlisch
@ Karen:
in Spanish "esperar" is both hope and wait
I picked the German title because it is NOT a literal translation of that old film title.
