The narrative was on point, though a little teenagery, it was funny and brutally honest. The plot was simple yet comedic and had a deeper meaning. The romance was done well and I liked the relationships between the characters. I also loved the world building, the setting was original and I loved the ideas. I did wish the murder mystery part of it was drawn out a little longer. All in all, I definitely recommend for a good laugh and a fun read!

I read this because the title caught my attention on a Book Riot list of unconventional YA love stories. I borrowed it from the library and did enjoy that it was different from anything I have read.

I gave it three stars on goodreads.

Christine Definitely a great title! 5y

Each week I search for #OneBeautifulThing to post to Insta. This week I found it in the #LibraryLandscaping when I was there to pick up my requested item.

I don‘t know what this book was trying to be or do....it was an interesting concept and could have been a really good read. But the writing really wasn‘t great. Disappointing :-(

I‘ve got a big virtual stack of e-books and e-comics on my tablet but wanted to add these three books to my physical stack as one stack is never enough! Are you ready to #readathon?
We have plans to be out tomorrow though so I don‘t know how many books I can read. I love to think that I can read them all of course!

I bought this because it takes place at MoA and I'm from Minnesota. I was very excited to get my hands on it. But I still don't understand how only New Yorkers' souls end up at MoA. The writing was too bubbly and I didn't care for any of the characters.

Escapist YA to the rescue! (Sort of) Although I enjoyed the concept of this story - Manhattanite teens in the afterlife waking up dead at the mall (of America) - and its premise - in order to "move on", they must address their unresolved issues - I felt like the insta-love, abrupt plot lines, and juvenile dialogue gave the story a slight case of the cheezies. Unfortunate given the more substantial themes and questions it attempted to tackle.

Super fun and quirky look at death and the afterlife. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I live near the mall of America and it was a fun setting for this book, but in reality I would hate to spend anytime there when I die 😺😸

GlitteryOtters Saaaame on all fronts! I read it on audio, and I really liked the audiobook version a lot (I felt the narrator totally got the tone right, which doesn't seem to happen often enough in non-serious YA audiobooks) 8y

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down for two days but sadly the book had to come to an end.

#booktober day 4: #bookmarks I'm not very good at remembering where I left my bookmarks. I really ought to be more organized and put them in an envelope or something! Instead they're scattered around the house. And so I tend to grab whatever I can find. Maybe it's a bookmark. Maybe it's a postcard. Maybe it's a hotel key card. Sometimes I put my phone in the book. Then of course I can't find my phone! 😳
Bookmarks - love them? Don't use them?

Tanner Yup, I use bookmarks - and bus passes - and shopping lists - I think I even used a tissue once... 8y
Arcana Bookmarks, receipts, napkins...if it's not wet, it gets put in the book! 8y
sereneselkie i ate a tootsie roll once just to use its wrapper as a bookmark. 😂 8y

Kalalalatja I love bookmarks and I love picking a book mark that matches my book - whether it be in colour, design og feeling 😂 8y
LeahBergen I am CRAZY about bookmarks and especially souvenir bookmarks! 8y
Inked.and.nerdy I've started using a pretty blue mason jar to hold my bookmarks!! 8y
BarbaraJean @Kalalalatja Me too!!! I just posted about how I do this! There are some bookmarks that just don't match... 😏 8y
KVanRead Lol! Me too!!! 8y
Aseleener I ❤ the magnetic kind. They don't fall out or get lost. 8y
Nking5025 Love them, but always seem to lose the magnetic ones so I just stick to the original! Lol 8y
mjdowens LOL. Short of food items, I will also use whatever is handy. Those pesky political circulars are great also 8y
kalinichta I love book darts. They point to exactly the line I left off at and aren't in danger of falling out of the book. Yet I still manage to lose them... 8y
Kangaj1 If this helps, we keep all the kids' bookmarks in a small shoebox. Mine? Just in a pile on my bookshelf. I tend to reuse the same ones until they fall apart or until I find a new fave. 8y
Sharpeipup @mjdowens i am with you! My bookmark is whatever is handy - phone, keys, scrap piece of paper, stapler, hair tie, you name it... 8y
elkeOriginal I love those book depository bookmarks! Fun illustrations 💕 8y
Dragon I like the hotel key card bookmark 😃 8y
RealLifeReading @Tanner oh yeah shopping lists! 8y
RealLifeReading @Arcana that's a good way of putting it! @sereneselkie hahaha!! 😂love that 8y
RealLifeReading @Kalalalatja @BarbaraJean wow! Matching a bookmark to the book! Love that idea 8y
RealLifeReading @Dragon I've got plenty of hotel keycards around. Mostly for the kids to play with. 8y
RealLifeReading @elkeo they are! I even had some colouring ones but erm can't remember where they are 8y
RealLifeReading @MelissaJ that's a good idea! 8y
RealLifeReading @Inked.and.nerdy great idea! 8y
Gissy I use a bookmark that has a relation with what I am reading! So you can imagine that I have some 😊 I am always buying news ones as well as bookplates! 8y

A funny, sweet, and sorrowful tale about a teenage girl named Sarah that discovers she has died and been sent to The Mall of America to linger in a (hopefully) temporary kind of purgatory until she finds closure from her life on earth.

Despite the somewhat serious subject matter--ya know, waking up dead and realizing someone murdered you, this book was quirky good fun! I thought the ending was a little rushed, and now I want a whole series I don't think is happening. Still. Read this book!! 👁😵@🏢👍

I'm hoping this will be similar to Suzy Cox's Dead Girls Detective Agency and/or Stacey Kade's The Ghost and the Goth. Really just gimme some YA whodunmurderedme.

A fun YA novel that imagines teen purgatory to be the Mall of America. Can accidentally poisoned Sarah right past wrongs? Friendship, redemption, and a little afterlife romance. Peppered with puns and dark humor

RealLifeReading Sounds fun! 9y
RunningnReading Sounds like a great weekend getaway, Beth! 9y
