Loved the premise and world. Solid read to 2025
Such an interesting take on the afterlife. Really really interesting.
Great book but I'm not a fan of present tense writing.
wonderful and refreshing read! so adorable and heartwarming <3 it was simply lovely (:
This book is inconsistent. Parts (like the prologue, from the perspective of the dead girl’s dog) made me tear up. Other parts - such a brief description of the flow of time - were brilliant. Some parts, such as Liz’s first few months on Elsewhere, were just plain boring.
Still, I gave it to my high schooler to read.

The concept is good and the story is ok but it could have been a lot better. Plus it just wasn't consistent as far as your mental state as you age backwards.
Liked this more than I anticipated, especially the second half when I felt the writing got better. Enjoyed watching the evolution of the main character in such a creative setting.
This was a really cute, different book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters, who were well developed. The pacing was spot-on with wonderful world-building. Though on the surface this might seem like a campy, fun book it definitely explored some deeper ideas of death, grief, loss, love, and friendship. I absolutely recommend it. This is my third book of Zevin's: I really enjoy her writing and her character profiles; she always has a unique perspective. #bookworm #bookstagram #bookish #elsewhere
