Grief in the Fourth Dimension

Two teenagers meet in an extra-dimensional space after their deaths. Through a TV in this room, they watch the lives of their loved ones following their passing, communicate the best they can, and learn how their lives were intertwined.

This was a tender book that wormed its way into my heart. The cast was strong; Kenny and Caroline are sweet and loving people, and seeing their stories unfold along with them was more affecting on me than I expected. I especially liked the characterization of Caroline, who wears her heart on her sleeve and chooses kindness after moments of desperation, as well as her brother and father.

I would've liked to see more of Kenny's past; I understand depression, especially as a second-gen immigrant, and feel like I was told more about Kenny's rather than shown. His father was also a favorite.

All in all, a strong character-driven book about grief that I would recommend for book clubs.

I was given a free audiobook download of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review. Thank you!

I listened to the audiobook which was wonderfully narrated. I'm still waiting for the physical copy to be ready at the library. I'll flip through that, too.

I'd love to see this book turned into a TV series.
