In fairness, there's a couple of decent characters here – Jana's new friend Arva, desperate to help Jana do the right thing, is sweet, while bad boy love interest Mars Dreamcote – a Slider who has his own motives for helping Jana – was well-portrayed until the end of the novel when I wanted to scream at him for being so stupid.
Overall, though, the pairing of Jana and Michael combine to be irritating enough to make me regret reading this. Add to this a bizarre setting which takes far too long to be fully explained – the kids are split into Risers, Sliders, Virgins and Greys, who all seem to have different limits on what they can do - some crazy death scenes which are presumably meant to be hilarious but just come across as stupid, and a plot which takes what seems like forever to get going, and it's certainly not one I'd recommend. And there's another [[Lovely, Dark and Deep by Amy McNamara|one]] just like it.
For a significantly more entertaining story about a dead girl who you're far more likely to warm to, try [[Ghost of a Chance by Rhiannon Lassiter]].
