The beginning was compelling and intriguing: The dead teenager watching her grieving family and killer from heaven, the interactions of the characters dealing with a life without her, the separation of her parents and 200 pages laterโฆ an absurd tale where the dead girl possesses a friendโs body just to make love with her crush on Earth. The simplistic family reunion and the ludicrous and unbelievable end of the killer. I cannot say itโs a bad novel: the narratorโs voice, the characters psychology, the ideas about human connection are well written and this novel soars in many ways. Unfortunately it falls abruptly in the conclusion. Perhaps it was too hard for a first time novelist dealing with so much emotional complexity, to be able to land safely.
