I like the idea of two strangers discovering how they're connected after death, but too little happened in this story and it was a slog to get through as we sat with Caroline and Kenny and watched their families through a TV screen in a mysterious room. I struggled to connect with any of the characters and never felt we got any depth with them.

I especially wanted to understand Kenny better, especially after the revelations of his death and looking back, I know his parents had a restaurant and then he has a couple of friends but I know very little else. The story focused a little heavier on Caroline, so I did feel we got to know her well, but I just didn't find her that interesting as a character.

I wasn't very comfortable with the ending chapters. I felt like a lot of what happened boiled down to, yes this happened, and she feels very bad about it, so she shouldn't be punished for it and really, it's all Kenny's fault anyway. I didn't feel the message the story left me with was a good one, and it's a topic that is often mishandled in YA novels.
