clichemarker's review against another edition
This book is terribly written. The protagonist is annoying. Stop eluding to the past, and show what happened. Why is she obsessed with everyone who is wheeled into the mortuary. You'd think she'd be more desensitized after 5 years of Pushing Daisies based events

Georgia has lived in a funeral home for her entire life, witnessing the natural rite of passage that is the final page of human life on earth. At sixteen years old, however, she has already become disillusioned with much of modern existence, and feels that she sees through the phony traditions the living partake in as one of their own exits the concrete plane. Furthermore, Georgia has an eerie secret: she has a unique ability that rouses the recently deceased from...wherever it is they dwell after their death. And to ask them about their final requests once they're in her presence. It isn't until she summons forth a now-dead classmate, though, that she begins to realize the darker ramifications of this activity, and must come to terms with whether her personal views on death are entirely true.

I agree with most of these other reviews, Georgia is kind insufferable and I just felt bad for Miles the entire time. Georgia tried doing the right thing the entire time but had a misguided sense of what’s “right”. I’m glad she figured out her path by the end of the book and there was a full circle moment but there was a lot of unnecessary heartache to get there.
