Seventeen-year-old Lake Devereaux must make an impossible choice in a future where resurrection is possible--but each person is only permitted to bring back a single loved one.
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.
