"How can fifteen-year-old Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?"
....So I read this book today while I was at the hospital waiting on my grandma's knee surgery, which went well by the way. It begins with a 15 year old girl who dies in a car accident and mysteriously wakes up on what appears to be a boat. She later discovers that she has actually died and has gone into the afterlife, which they call Elsewhere. In Elsewhere, Liz, learns a lot more about life than you'd expect, for being dead and all. She goes through some hard ships but you must read the book to see how the rest of the story unfolds. At first I was annoyed by the main character, Liz who seemed like just a selfish little girl, but after giving it some thought, I decided that it would be just like a 15 year old to act that way and continued reading. As I got more and more into the story, I started thinking, wow the author must've had some crazy ideas running through their head as reflected upon their writing. Fiction or Non-Fiction, it still came from a small idea in the author's mind which came to expand into something more materialistic. Overall, I guess it was a pretty good story although I do still think that some parts of it were extremely odd. Read it sometime, I mean, if you're into that whole afterlife stories type of genre.
