The Everafter by Amy Huntley

Author: Amy Huntley
Reading level: Young Adult
Publisher: Balzer + Bray

Rated 9/10

Madison Stanton doesn’t know where she is or how she got there. But she does know this — she is dead. And alone, in a vast, dark space. The only company she has in this place are luminescent objects that turn out to be all the things Maddy lost while she was alive. And soon she discovers that with these artifacts, she can reexperience — and sometimes even change — moments from her life.
Her first kiss.
A trip to Disney World.

Her sister’s wedding.

A disastrous sleepover.

In reliving these moments, Maddy learns illuminating and sometimes frightening truths about her life — and death.

This is a haunting and ultimately hopeful novel about the beauty of even the most insignificant moments — and the strength of true love even beyond death.


MY REVIEW
I loved reading this book. It has an original plot and it was just unique to me. It made me think of my existence, and life and death. It's not your average ghost story by any means. Seventeen year old Madison is dead and in a place where there is nothing but the things she lost in life. Everytime she goes to an item it takes her back to a time in her life she lost that object. She has the choice to either enter her body and change her past by finding the object or standing outside her body and watching things fold out. It's very suprising how she died and never once did I guess that's how she died. That's also another thing I love about this book, it's anything but predictable,it's also a very fast read(took less than a day). I say if you're looking for a different, good type of book then this is one you should read.
