Reviews

[Bianca]

This had an interesting premise where people who turn eighteen have a choice to resurrect someone who died. The plot was so boring though + no character development (those last-minute “developments” don’t count). And then an unthinkable instalove happened too 🙄🥱

[Joséphine]

Initial thoughts: This book was absolutely morbid from the beginning right through to the end but amidst it all, it was extremely thought-provoking. What if we could bring loved ones back to life? What would life be like after a resurrection? I think these questions were artfully explored in This Is Not the End.

At the same time, I enjoyed the way the protagonist worked through the expectations placed upon her, her own conscience, as well as her relationships. I did get a little tired of the to and fro of "Will she? Won't she?" but overall, the plot was well developed and fitting of the story.

[Sam@WLABB]

Such an interesting concept, which I could not stop contemplating. There were quite a few surprises in the story, and I found myself very emotional.
