The Afterlife of Lizzie Monroe is an emotional rollercoaster. I would normally NEVER read a book that has a zombie in it, they just creep me out, knowing that Kelly Martin writes some pretty amazing books I took the chance and read it.I found myself laughing and then a few pages over feeling heartbroken for Lizzie. This book is certainly NOT a comedy but it has some incredible moments. The thoughts that go through Lizzie’s head, some of the things that she says (she lived and died during the time of the Civil War) so to get to read her reactions to our time was at times snort when you laugh funny.Shane turns out to be a character that you can really like. He grows on you, the more you read the more you realize maybe, just maybe not everything is at it first seemed.This book was amazing, I would recommend that you purchase it. Lizzie died from committing suicide and though it does not go into very much detail, if you are buying it for your YOUNG teen then give it a read through first, unless they are allowed to watch zombie movies and stuff like that (my kids are not) just to see if it is something that you think appropriate for them because every child is different.Kelly Martin did it again with Lizzie Monroe, I look forward to every book that she writes.
