Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

I tried to listen to Elsewhere while doing my work and, though I liked the concept of the book, I really didn't care for the audio version. The person reading, Cassandra Morris, chose a really obnoxious voice to read in for the character.

Lizzy is self-centered, pushy, and overall a little shit of a teenager. After waking aboard a ship to Elsewhere, Lizzy learns that she died in a car accident and is on her way to the afterlife.

I loved the idea of a huge ship bringing people to Elsewhere and the concept of decreasing in age until the day one became a week old and was then reincarnated into a new life on Earth. LOVED the concept. The character, I couldn't get into. I may try to read it, but I don't recommend the audio.

I didn't finish this book. I got about a quarter into it and couldn't handle the audio and main character any longer.
