DONT NOT READ IT JUST BECAUSE I GAVE IT 3 STARS! I still really enjoyed the story, and in all honesty, it was really like a 3.5. The only thing that brought it down was the writing itself. The author's words didnt flow and her writing style was a little young. I still really enjoyed the story and the characters! So still read it! I do own it. ;)

Really interesting book. Some parts were very lyrical and well written. A few parts were a little stilted. Great read. Interesting and different concept.
Once again I am crying. Loved the characters so much

*spoiler free* I never really write reviews, so when I write one you know that means i really have somehing to say. I have read Elsewhere about twice. And each time I wish there was a sequal or that I could read it again. The book basically blows a lot of the other books out of the waters *literally, i havn't found an afterlife story I've liked since*. I smiled, laughed, got angry and creid with and at the characters. Anyways PLZ read this book ^_^ I reccomend it to my friends and none of them can say a negative thing about it. So kudos to you Senora Zevin ***** whoot!
How would you like to live in a place where everyone ages backward? So it is in Elsewhere, the afterlife for Elizabeth Hall, who has died in a collision between her bike and a taxicab. Learning to cope with a life after death is obviously not the easiest or likeliest thing in the world to happen to a fifteen year old, but Elizabeth must deal with this problem. As she does, readers learn the intricacies of Gabrielle Zevin’s vision of the afterlife, and how completing your unfinished business is a possibility, if you’re willing to take a risk.
She views her life through binoculars on Elsewhere’s observation deck, and meets her grandmother, who passed away shortly before she was born, but has aged backward 15 years, and is now merely in her thirties. The people and pets she meets make her life on Elsewhere eventful and full, and combine to provide her with the perfect job to suit her abilities in this new “life” she has been forced to lead.
“Elsewhere” provides readers with an interesting escape and glimpse into a world that many are curious about, but no one understands. What if Elsewhere was truly the afterlife? Read and find out how you would feel about this if you ended up there.

I believe I read this book sometime in Middle school and I still think about scenes from it till this day. Maybe it’s the nostalgia but I loved it.
Oh I LOVED this. Such a beautiful read. Very easy, got through in one sitting. It’s the first YA I’ve read since being a young adult. But I just loved the premise and how she changes throughout her journey. And the DOGS. Gorgeous.
Another kid's book-- screened for Anna because it's about a 15 y.o. Clever plot. disappointing ending.
