![]() ![]() So, I kinda loved this book, its intelligence, its meta-awareness, and the way a lovely coming-of-age story is packaged inside a clever satire-bordering-on-love-story to the YA publishing world. In a brilliant high-wire act of weaving two epic narratives - and two unforgettable heroines - into one novel, Scott Westerfeld's latest work is a triumph of storytelling. But Lizzie's not alone in her new calling - she has counsel from a fellow spirit guide, a very desirable one, who is torn between wanting Lizzie and warning her that. With survival comes the responsibility to guide the restless spirits that walk our world, including one ghost with whom she shares a surprising personal connection. ![]() Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, the thrilling story of Lizzie, who wills her way into the afterworld to survive a deadly terrorist attack. ![]() all while dealing with the intoxicating, terrifying experience of falling in love - with another writer. It means sleepless nights rewriting her first draft and struggling to find the perfect ending. That means book tours, parties with her favorite authors, and finding a place to live that won't leave her penniless. Instead of heading to college, she's living in New York City, where she's welcomed into the dazzling world of YA publishing. But it's really happening - her teen novel is getting published. ![]() Darcy Patel is afraid to believe all the hype. ![]()
