Changes

There are obvious similarities to [[If I Stay by Gayle Forman]] and [[The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold]], the former being one of my favourite YA novels, while the latter offers a darker take aimed more at older readers. [[Flip by Martyn Bedford]] is a brilliant YA thriller for fans of the body -swapping theme. Meanwhile, it's ''Mean Girls'' meets ''Groundhog Day'' in the wonderful [[Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver]], where a girl is forced to relive the day she died over and over again. Finally, Neal Shusterman's [[Everlost by Neal Shusterman|Everlost]], with its wonderfully zany and imaginative limbo, remains my favourite depiction of afterlife in YA lit. You might also enjoy [[The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg]].
