I have been waiting forever to read this book. It came out a couple years ago, and there was a big hoo-hah about it, and every week (it seemed) I would go to the Cleveland Park Library and it was never there on the New Fiction shelf. I could have saved myself the extra bus fare and bought it in hardcover, but I didn't. I waited. And waited.

And I came home for Christmas and my parents have it in paperback. Yay parents! I took over my mom's awesome blue armchair/footrest and read it in a couple days.

So, um .... It's good. Really! Pretty good. Better than I thought it would be for a book narrated from heaven by a murdered girl. But maybe not as good as all the hoo-hah led me to believe.
