I am never one to dismiss anyone‘s NDE story, but this one felt too religious for me. The word ‘God‘ was in almost every paragraph; a bible verse began nearly every chapter. It felt too Christian. I am aware that a NDE is different for everyone though there are many similarities, and the spectrum is wide. I am an atheist, I don‘t believe in deities; but I do believe there is a part of us that doesn‘t die, when our bodies die. I imagine ‘God‘⬇️

JenniferEgnor looks different for many peoplx; as an energy, not gendered in anyway. Still, an interesting read. The author mentions some curious events of after death communication which I found to be beautiful. 4mo

I enjoyed this book. I liked Liz, and I absolutely loved Betty. All of the dogs warmed my heart. The overall story was very fun and interesting. But there was something about the writing that made me feel frustrated. Idk what it was, but it just got under my skin.
I'm glad I read it. But don't plan to read anymore from her.

Death comes for us all, but what if death is not the end? This book is the result of what was learned during experiments conducted in the late 90s by a scientist at the University of Arizona. Five mediums agreed to participate and do readings for sitters they could not see and who could only respond with yes or no. The results were amazing and seem to affirm that human consciousness survives body death and they long to communicate with us.

Sometimes I like to read books I remember loving as a kid/teenager and see if they still hold up. I‘m enjoying this one the second time around!

1. Finished the tagged book last week and loved it! Very original and hopeful.
2. Maybe not necessarily better, but I think they can be powerful.

If you want to play, consider yourself tagged! 🤗

TheSpineView Thanks for playing and happy Tuesday! 3y

Loved this! When 15-year-old Liz is hit by a car and dies, she goes to Elsewhere where she will age backwards until she can be reborn as a baby. She‘s not happy about being dead or aging backwards, as there was so much Liz wanted to do and experience on Earth. But she finds out you can still have a good “life” even if it‘s not what you thought it would be.

Elsewhere was good but probably forgettable for me as an adult reader. I would have liked to see more world building of this interesting afterlife and a little more depth to some of the themes that get glossed over instead of so much of the main character‘s angst and misconceptions. It definitely had its sweet moments and was a very quick read but I think it skewed too far to the middle grade side of the YA spectrum and left me wanting. #bookspin
