Here Lies by Olivia Clare Friedman
3.0
slow-paced

I found this read very middle-of-the-road for me personally. It kept me hooked to finish, but I have a sneaking feeling I won't remember the plot in a few months. 

The writing style is good, and I want to read more of Olivia's work, but if they are all based in this realistic world, I don't know if I'll be sticking them out. As much as I like dystopian worlds, I need more fantasy elements to keep myself interested, which isn't this author or book's fault. 

I picked it up from my library because the cover was pretty, so I knew the risk. I liked it, but it wasn't the best book ever or the worst either.
