Annie LeBlanc Is Not Dead Yet by Molly Morris is a speculative YA romance with heaping helpings of magical realism.
I initially picked this up because it has a really intriguing concept. Who would you pick if an every-ten-year town contest selected you to choose one person to come back from the dead for 30 days?
The town of Lennon was really cute, weird lottery notwithstanding. This read on the younger side of YA for me, but I think it does provide some true-to-life examples of multi-faceted people. Each and every character who lives there is complex and doesn’t always make the right decision. That made them feel more real to me.
I think I liked that the ending, while bittersweet, was also slightly open-ended.
