This is still a special book with a wonderful message of hope, and the best version of any kind of afterlife that I've ever read. This book is a sentimental one for me as it was a favourite back when it was published in 2005. love this book!

For a nearly-sixteen-year-old, that's pretty devastating as she hasn't done most of the things she wanted to do with her life and now she has to live it in reverse. Great condition, many thanks It was one of those stories I used to revisit when I needed a read I could rely on, and I just had to reread it now, more than a decade later, when the book jumped back into my brain. The book doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also doesn't gloss over the emotions that Liz is facing when she learns that in the afterlife, she will age backwards until she's reborn.

Arrived right on time! The notion of life after death is a heavy one but Zevin manages to lighten it without trivialising it. I may have read this story countless times before and I may be a little old to reread a YA I devoured when I was 9, but I still cried. I still adore this story, which focuses on Liz, a fifteen-year-old girl who is killed in a hit and run and wakes up to find herself on a boat to the afterlife.

I read this book years ago when I was younger and it’s always stuck with me. Arrived today! A great read! I just had to add it to my collection.
