So, this is our book for book club this month. I think they picked it mostly because the movie is coming out in a couple of weeks. I didn't really care for this book. The first chapter is disturbing. The main character of the book is raped and murdered in it, although there isn't a ton of details, you do get the picture. And then the rest of the book is told from her perspective in heaven. It deals with her in heaven a little, but mostly is about how she views her friends and family dealing with their lives after what has happened to her.
I didn't feel like the girls really had anything to do with her family, other than just watch them. She didn't really help them cope. And I felt like there were too many story lines that were ended abruptly. I didn't feel closure to a lot of them, I guess is what I am trying to say.
The girl does get a chance to be in a body again on earth, kind of like in the movie ghost, and she uses that chance to get it on with her first crush, instead of be with her family. I didn't really like that either. It was an okay story, but not great. I give it 2/5 stars.
