Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
4.0

This is petty of me but the only reason this book lost a star was because it's a young adult novel. But otherwise, wow, what a book. It was so hard to not cry at the end because I finished it at work and couldn't, but I wanted to. It was beautiful and creative and significant. It made me less scared of dying, even dying young. And I hope that's what afterlife is actually like, because then I have hope.

I would recommend this book to anyone dealing with grief and the loss of a person or pet. Maybe if I read this when Rocco died, I wouldn't have cried as hard. I hope he's with a good family up there.
