A lovely exploration of life, death, and what a meaningful existence really means. Some of the pacing was a bit too fast in places, and I wish the book spent more time on certain parts. Great way to reflect at the end of the year!
This was a really interesting and creative story, but I just don't think it was well-written. I disliked the main character from the beginning and thus found her emotions dishonest much of the time.
This book was really different from the other book that I read from this author: tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Very much a young adult book but that didn't take anything away in my opinion. Dying at what happens after can be a heavy topic, here it was made serious but not too heavy so that I'd want to stop reading.
I liked the concept of the place Elswhere and hadn't thought of such an "option".

What a pleasant little book. Touching and heartfelt without being cloying.
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.
Good concept: poor execution. The book had a lot of potential, but was way too cheesy. I'd recommend this to my freshman, or maybe sophomore, girls. Not a book boys would like.
3.5 stars. This was such an interesting book. It follows Liz, who dies at the age of 15 and ends up in the land of Elsewhere. She learns that everyone in Elsewhere ages backwards until they are babies and get sent back to Earth to be reborn and start life anew. She meets her grandmother (who is now her mother's age), makes friends and finds a job. Being only 15, Liz is angry that she'll never get a chance to grow up, but eventually discovers life and love in Elsewhere. I felt like parts of the story could use some refining, but overall I enjoyed it. Recommended for those who enjoyed Tuck Everlasting or are interested in books about the afterlife. 12+

It’s a cute book definitely but some elements like the romance that I couldn’t help but feel a little cringy towards, quick read though
Ik vond "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" van dezelfde schrijfster beter, maar dit boek was zo leuk om te lezen! Met veel humor en luchtig, maar soms ook juist ontroerend. Zeker een aanrader!
I struggled with the first half of the book - being angry at the main character and trudging through hoping it would get better. Eventually it did and reading it wasn't so painful. I actually wanted to give this book only two stars, but decided it was worth the extra star for the overall theme/concept of death and life.
Easy read, intresting concept. It was pretty good. Got 3 ** because of some sexual refrences I didn't like.
