Publisher's summary

They say it was suicide, but Nicole knows damn well she didn’t kill herself and won’t take this lying down.

16-year-old Nicole, high school drama queen (onstage and off), wakes up and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, a special plane of existence for teenage suicides, where she must accept the fact that she is now, quite literally, a No Body. Nicole has zero memory of dying but she’s convinced she didn’t take her own life and doesn’t belong here. She accuses the Mentors who run this place of screwing up big time, but they’re not buying it. In thirty days Nicole must pass the all-important Evaluation by accepting that the choices she made led to her demise. What happens if she doesn’t pass? She may be on her way to a place much worse than Substation Fifteen.

Nicole's only path to uncovering the truth about what happened is a fact-finding trip to Earth, through a minefield of secrets and lies, beginning at her own funeral. The clock is ticking while she tries to figure out a way to communicate with her two close friends—Isabel, her witchy bestie, and Cassie, her romantic rival. Both girls know much more about Nicole’s Last Day than they’re willing to admit. Ultimately, the facts Nicole finds may be harder to piece together and accept than death itself.

This tale of hope and redemption will appeal to fans of afterlife storylines like Before I Fall, 13 Reasons Why, If He Had Been With Me, and The Lovely Bones.

Second chances

Narrated by Maria Marquis, and wow! This audiobook was a wild ride.
Forget your typical afterlife! Substation Fifteen is a one-of-a-kind purgatory for teen suicides, and the snarky FMC-Nicole, is convinced she doesn't belong there. She has 30 days to prove she wasn't murdered and unravel the secrets surrounding her death.

The mystery surrounding Nicole’s death kept me guessing, and I loved how Nicole grew as a character throughout the story. Maria Marquis did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life, especially Nicole's attitude.

This one is perfect for fans of Before I Fall, 13 Reasons Why, and themes that explore friendship, grief, and second chances.
