I thought it might be worth a reread so I could give it a review on my blog. So, I read Evermore when I was fourteen and loved it. Have you read it? Book 2: Evermore by Alyson Noel. I truly have no idea what it is about, but I think it’s a thriller. Book 1: The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. With a thrift store, you never know what you’ll find. When I go to a bookstore, I usually have a book in mind that I want to buy and I’ll maybe browse and see what else catches my eye.

Genres & Subjects: Fiction, young adult, paranormal, romance I would greatly recommend Elsewhere to anyone who is a fan of young adult fiction. The story is so fresh, unique and compelling that I just couldn’t stop listening to it. When I began listening to the audiobook, I was hooked right away. Liz, our leading lady, is unready to let go of her past life and embrace that she will be growing younger with each passing year instead of older. Instead, Elsewhere is a story about life that just so happens to take place in the afterlife. My mistake! The cover is a bit misleading. I thought (for whatever reason) that it was about a girl who gets caught in a snow globe world. I had Elsewhere on my to-read shelf for a very long time without knowing what it was about. She wants to turn sixteen, get her driver’s license and most of all, she wants to live the life she imagined she would live. Fifteen-year-old Liz Hall never wanted to end up in Elsewhere. Where do we go when we die? In Gabrielle Zevin’s Elsewhere everyone who passes away ends up in Elsewhere, a beautiful place where you age backwards and never feel sick. This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward? And now that she’s dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn’t want with a grandmother she has only just met. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. ![]()
