Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

15-year-old Elizabeth Marie Hall awakes to find herself aboard a cruise ship named the SS Nile with no recollection of how she got there. As she and her roommate Thandi explore the ship, both of them begin to remember what has brought them aboard. Liz's bald head and the stitching at the back of her head only solidifies the fact that Liz is truly dead and that this is not a nightmare. The ship docks and Liz soon finds herself in Elsewhere, a place very similar to Earth. While Liz is filled with grief over her own death, she finds out everything there is to know about Elsewhere and meets many new people, but still finds herself longing for her life back on Earth.

9/10 I really really liked this book. It was nothing like I've ever read before...a nice break from all the dystopian/sci fi (though this might be classified as fantasy, I'm not sure) novels I find myself reading these days. There wasn't a whole lot of action, but it kept me reading. It was so weird trying to wrap my mind around the idea of Elsewhere and what life would be like there.
