My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.
In heaven, Susie Salmon can have whatever she wishes for – except what she most wants, which is to be back with the people she loved on earth. In the wake of her murder, Susie watches as her happy suburban family is torn apart by grief; as her friends grow up, fall in love, and do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But as Susie will come to realize, even in death, life is not quite out of reach . . .
Characters are dull. Plot is empty. Books don’t always need to be exciting or have a great resolution but I just couldn’t get interested in this book. I didn’t care what happened next, and by the end of the book it didn’t matter because nothing happened.
