emotional reflective

A good book for the very most part. The very beginning I understand and also
understand the feelings Liz goes through, but at one point she was just so annoying.
The story doesn’t drag and reads really easily. I like the ending, it’s very hopeful and filled with positive emotions.

Re-read because some books are meant to find you twice.

Bit predictable, but a cute & easy read.

It's nice but the end is not satifying

i liked the concept, i think it was like, decent?? it's hard to wrap my head around the whole aging backwards thing, it just kinda seems like bullshit when someone dies so young skjdfkjs like can they at least get to be an adult in the afterlife?

also wish the whole "instantly in love" thing didn't happen like, they might not have eternity, but they have plenty of time, they didn't have to announce it after like a week of hanging out. and it's kind of unclear to me, like i initially thought owen was mentally his age on earth and i was like "he's basically thirty-something, she's a teenager, it's creepy", but then as they got younger, they started behaving more childlike so?? maybe it was fine? but why not just have her fall in love with another person who is actually her age

i do think other reviews are unfair like ofc liz is whining her life ended abruptly at fifteen like that SUCKS of course she's angry and depressed and handling it badly pls why do y'all hate teenage girls so much

also a lot of the book was just kinda cheesy which isn't necessarily bad, i love a lot of cheesy things, but idk, i just think the whole story could've been better because i do think afterlife stories can be really cool and it is a p cool concept
