Cassidy
is dead, but she doesn’t see a bright light that she should go towards and she
finds herself in limbo on earth. She can’t
remember her past and she can’t remember the circumstances surrounding her
death, but she quickly learns that everyone believes she committed suicide and
her boyfriend Ethan can see her. Cassidy’s
story goes back and forth between memories of before her death and her friends
and family grieving after her death all the while uncovering what really
happened.
Cassidy’s story pulled me in
from the beginning and I wanted to uncover the mystery of her death. I liked the minor characters but sometimes I
had a hard time with Cassidy’s poor decisions that hurt others. The mature content is underage drinking and
drug use and the violence leads to her death, but isn’t grotesque.
