She can see anyone she wants even the guy she is crushing on. What Susie doesn’t understand is that everyone makes mistakes. Susie looks at what her killer is doing and how her family is cooping after her death, which isn’t too well. On her way to heaven she runs into this girl, Beth, which changes her life forever…
Lovely Bones is the best book I have read in a long time. It tells you about everything and keeps you hanging on. This book will not let you down, once you pick it up you won’t put it down. Alice Sebold does a great job describing the scenes and never gets you confused with what is happening. I definitely recommend this book to everyone, for some, it may look like a thick book but trust me it goes by fast!
