Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
After life has been described in various ways in the world of literature. And this one place is called Elsewhere where the dead age back until the time comes that they will be ready to be reborn again back to Earth. I like the concept. But it took me until half way through the book to really like the MC here Lizzie. She died so young so her attitude about her sudden death was not exactly impressive but it was understandable. The frustrations and she got kinda depressed. Still this pleasantly surprised me with its poignant story of hope and moving on of forgiveness and second chances and even finding love in Elsewhere.
