Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver’s license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she’s dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn’t want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it is not going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?

My thoughts: A completely new take on the life after death fiction (I LOVED Earthly Pleasures), this was a fresh book that will definitely keep me on the lookout for more from Zevin. She nailed the perspective perfectly and had such interesting little twists (there is no heaven or hell, there is merely Elsewhere, where you age in reverse and when you're zero, you go back to earth as a new soul). Definitely a great teen read!
