The main character didn’t feel authentic as a teenager and was oddly unemotional at times, which made it hard to know what I was meant to be feeling.
I personally would’ve liked more worldbuilding, more curiosity and wonder in exploring Elsewhere. Do all living things go to Elsewhere when they die? What about plants - do trees age backwards into a sapling, then a seed? People from around the world, not just America - what does their Elsewhere look like?
My overwhelming memory of this book is that it feels extremely *suburban*, with few natural elements or sensations, which is why I couldn’t fully connect to the story.
Moderate: Animal death and Child death
Minor: Drug abuse, Self harm, and Mass/school shootings

Liz is kind of a dick and doesn't care about anyone who cares about her which made it difficult to get behind the story. I also just did not believe the romance.
First half was better than the second half.
