I won’t spoil anything, but if you choose to read this book, remember it IS a satire piece. The details on certain things weren’t my favorite, but the story line was good.

3.5/5

A witty 13 year-old reinvents herself post-mortem with angst and satire while taking on Hell, where candy is currency, telemarketing is the job, and hope is a sin.

It was fun! I loved the twist at the end but wish it could have been expanded on further… not sure I’ll read the sequel.

honestly I’m going to hell and maddy better not find me there or I will start a fight with a pretentious annoying 13 year old

I almost want to give this 4 stars, but I just can't. Goodreads, why won't you allow me to give ratings with half stars??? This truly is a 3.5 for me. I was laughing for much of the first half...second half, not as much. This book is precisely why I am in a book group - I would NEVER choose this book on my own as it's way outside my comfort zone. Glad to have read it. Thanks for the recommendation, Marjorie :)
