Elsewhere

by Gabrielle Zevin

Summary: When fifteen year old Liz is hit by a taxi and dies, she discovers that the afterlife is a place called Elsewhere. It's very much like our world, with love, animals, jobs and relationships, but here, people age in reverse until they become infants again and are sent back to Earth. Liz is angry at first, but starts to learn to truly live in this strange new world.

My thoughts: You'll laugh and cry with Liz as she tries to navigate this place, and her emotions about her death and her new "life." Beautifully written and startlingly different.
