This book was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I found that it had a brisk pace and an interesting cast of teenagers who were the right blend of endearing but obnoxious. Eleanor's personality shone throughout the novel, and I did want to know what happened to her.

I just have three hangups. First of all, when waking up and realizing she'd died, she never sought out help for her condition or pushed the boundaries. She didn't seem to know or care if she was full zombie and just went about her life coasting. That was weird. Second, there are way too many asides that feel like the author's own personal thoughts. (We really didn't need a tangent about how sadistic you are based on how you eat a gingerbread man!) Finally, I thought the ending was way too convenient and, to be frank, cheesy. I get that it's YA, but it felt cheap.

Thank you to Net Galley and Bookouture for the ARC.
