Synopsis

A moving and unique speculative YA novel about the afterlife and the unexpected connections that can be made in death

In life, high school classmates Caroline Davison and Kenny Zhou existed in separate universes—Caroline in one of softball practices and family dinners; Kenny in one of NASA photo books and late-night shifts at his parents' Chinese restaurant. But after their deaths, they find themselves thrown together as roommates in a mysterious white room—one that seems to exist outside of time and space, shows them their loved ones' lives on a large hi-def TV, and grants their wishes with a sardonic sense of humor.

As Caroline and Kenny watch life continue to unfold back on Earth, they realize they can influence events through radio signals, psychic mediums, and electromagnetic interference. In their efforts to console their families, they also start to understand the tragic depth of how their lives and deaths were connected and how to help their families—and themselves—heal from the losses.

Goodreads review by Quill&Queer on August 01, 2024

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 charact......more

I am unwell. This book had me bawling my eyes out. The way that the author describes grief is so accurate, that I had to stop reading several times because it evoked such strong emotions about my own personal life. This story is such a beautiful way of looking at death and life. We start with Kenny,......more
