There were some things about this book that I found to be refreshingly original. Riley is a typical 12 year old girl in many ways. She loves her family, her dog Buttercup, clothes, music, celebrities, cute boys...and she absolutely looks up to her sister, Ever. Too bad for Riley that her life is cut short when a fatal car accident kills her, her dog, and her mom and dad. Her sister, Ever, is the only one who survives the accident. When Riley finally decides which way to go- with her parents or with her sister- she ends up in a place called Here. This is actually the afterlife...where we all go when we die in order to be "placed" in our rightful spot to fulfill our purpose Here since we are no longer on the Earth plain. 
 Like I said, original idea- at least as far as I know I've never read anything like it before. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't outstandingly, blow my mind, fantastic. I kind of feel like it's a book that is aimed more towards younger audiences...it just reads younger - and since the story is written from the POV of a 12 year old girl, I suppose that makes sense. 
 This was a fast read, which is a plus...but not sure I'll continue on with the series...I just don't feel it's really for me.
