The Everafter

Madison is floating. She isn't dead, yet she isn't one of the undead. We have no idea how she died, or if she is even dead. We are on a journey of discovery right along side Madison as she figures out what is going in. Amy Huntley's new book, The Everafter, will interest you and make you ponder life after death.

When Madison starts noticing different objects that are floating around her, she figures out that if she touches the object she is taken back to that particular scene in her life. As she touches more and more objects, she sees more of her life and questions what exactly is going on. She is left to sort out regrets and joys of her life...and then it dawns on her that she is no longer alive - that is why she is left in this place, finding objects and being taken back in time. But how will she get out of this place and move on to the Everafter?

Reminiscent of Zevin's Elsewhere, readers will be intrigued with this story about friendship, family, falling in love, and loss.

Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott

Elizabeth Scott is pretty much a YA goddess.
Usually she writes love stories, and I appreciate her work because it is so much fun - the excitement, the woe, the anguish!!! But today I read a love story of a different kind...the best friends kind of love.

When Amy's best friend, Julia, dies in a car accident, Amy feels responsible...and incredibly sad.
Her therapist recommends writing down her thoughts, which morphs into letters to Julia. Amy figures out some important details during her letter therapy, details about friendship and about relationships in general: the relationship she has with her parents, the relationship her parents have with each other, her relationship with Patrick (and what THAT all means), as well as the relationship that Julia and Amy shared.

A voyage of discovery and healing, you can't help but be mesmerized by Amy's story...and you kind of want to call your BF when it's all said and done. Scott has done it again!

Definitely worth reading!!

As a side note, I follow Elizabeth Scott's blog, which is amazing. She always does the neatest promotions, gives away a ton of free books, and pretty much lets her cool personality shine through. Check out her website by clicking here. Check out her blog by clicking here. Enjoy!! I sure have.
