Review Detail

Reader reviewed by WilowRaven

Charlotte Usher is dead but she isn't taking it very well. She's pissed
that a gummy bear did her in and she isn't about to let a little thing
like death stand in the way of her getting the perfect Midnight Kiss
from her high school crush or winning the respect of Miss Popularity.
I
only had one major problem with this book - I could not stand
Charlotte! She was selfish, shallow and well, kinda stupid to boot.
Surprisingly, this didn't ruin the book for me :)
Through the course
of her mandatory attendance Dead Ed with the other Dead Kids, and all
the trouble she gets herself into trying to win over her crush Damen,
Charlotte meets up with some pretty cool characters. My favorite is
Scarlet - the only living person who can see Charlotte.
There were
some plot holes to contend with - no mention of Charlotte's family -
the fact that there wasn't even 1 person who Charlotte was friendly
with before she died - the stereotypical popular girls who in the end,
really didn't play all that big a part in the story. I could go on but
I don't want to give the wrong idea. I actually really liked this book.
A quick read, funny at times, with likable characters (ok, maybe not
Charlotte, but I liked everyone else :)
Hurley has written a sequel and I'm curious to see how the story plays out further.
All and all - I give 3 stars.
