I’ve always been attracted and interested to books like this and it’s so nice to finally see one for the YA genre. You have to be a bit careful with these types of books so they don’t get too heavy especially for young readers but I thought this one was very well written.

I thought this was such a unique take on the afterlife - the author has beautifully blended death and tragedy with humour, and it makes the heavier themes in this book more palatable to a younger audience.
I adored the wide variety of characters and the language used to portray them. I think this would make a fabulous television show!
I felt invested in Evie's story, in her hunt for her brother, her relationship with Tom and the mystery of the arsonist.
The story was a touch predictable, but was nonetheless a delightful read that I enjoyed.
I give this 4.5 stars (rounded up here to 5).

Thank you so much to Scholastic UK for this arc via NetGalley, and for giving me the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on this book.
