This is Not the End
This is Not the End | Chandler Baker

I wonder if for the rest of my life, I'll be haunted by beautiful days. On one cloudless, radiant summer afternoon, Lake Devereaux lost everything. The car crash claimed the lives of her best friend and boyfriend, the people who had become her family after her own fell apart. But she doesn't have to lose them both. The development of resurrection technology has changed the world. Under the new laws regulating the process, each person gets one resurrection to be used or forfeited on their eighteenth birthday. Mere weeks away from turning eighteen, Lake faces an impossible choice. Envisioning life without one of the people she loves most is shattering enough, but Lake carries an additional burden: years ago, under family pressure, Lake secretly-and illegally-promised her resurrection to someone who isn't even dead yet. The search for answers about her future draws Lake more deeply into the secrets of her past until she begins to question everything about those closest to her. Betrayals and hurts both new and old threaten to eclipse the memories she once cherished. Then Lake meets a boy unlike anyone she's encountered before, who unflinchingly embraces the darkest parts of her life . . . and who believes that all resurrections are wrong. Which path is the right one? And how can Lake start to heal when she can't move on?

This was a surprise. I was perusing audiobooks in audible as a part of their plus program and this showed up. The ability to bring back a dead loved one on your 18th birthday is a compelling premiss, and I was hooked. While there were some parts I saw coming and were predictable, it was an engaging and original idea and there were other parts I definitely didn‘t see coming.

wanderinglynn That sounds like an interesting premise. 4y

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
