When Wilson Moss wins a contest that allows her to bring back one person from the dead for 30 days, she thinks this is the chance to fix her friendship with Annie LeBlanc and maybe—just maybe—find a loophole to keep Annie among the living. 

Growing up, Wil and Annie were the best of friends; then Wil, Annie, and their friend Ryan had a falling out. Within a year, Annie had passed away.

In so many ways, Wil is used to being the one keeping everything together. Her friendship with Annie and Ryan fell apart around the same time as her family, and Wil has been flying solo trying to take care of her mom and half-sister ever since.

With Annie back, Wil starts to open up and have fun again. She begins to embrace life and dream more. She’s not so alone anymore.

At a glance:
- YA (summer after high school graduation)
- Magical realism
- Small town
- Queer

Highlights for me:
- Wil being named after Wilson Phillips
- Wil’s relationship with her former stepfather 
- Ryan’s brother, Mark (honestly, what a great guy)
- Wil’s love of ’90s music
- Wil’s comics (I would read them.)
- When Annie opens up to Wil

Things that were tougher for me:
- Wil’s mom’s behavior (She doesn’t act like the adult in the household, and some of her interactions with Wil made my heart ache.)
- Ryan’s response to Annie and her behavior towards Wil (I feel like these are believable teenage behaviors, but that doesn’t make them easy to read.)

I had early copies of both the ebook and the audiobook. I enjoyed Georgina Sadler’s narration. She made Wil feel very relatable. I didn’t love her voice for Ryan but felt like it was fitting for the character.

I received an advance copy of the ebook from Wednesday Books and an advance copy of the audiobook from Macmillan Audio. All review opinions are my own.
