Before We Move On by Sally Reiser Simon
4.5
emotional hopeful medium-paced

This was a very sweet MG read that helps you wonder what happens after we die?

After a horrible prank went wrong, Kiki ends up drowning and spins Jesse's world around. They were friends at a theater camp. Kiki doesn't realize her situation until she sees her own funeral. Now it's up to her to find out how she can fully move on.

I liked to see the two different journeys of Jesse as he navigates a world without Kiki and Kiki's world and perspectives on the "ghost side". It's a story full of sadness, but also of finding a way through grief. I teared up several times. What a great read
