The Sweet Dead Life Book Review by Bri

The Sweet Dead Life by Joy Preble is a cute book that relates to the theme of angels, Jenna Samuels is a 14-year old girl is is having a very bad 8th grade year. Her mom

spends all of her time in bed, her dad has left, and her brother Casey is a prev but he’s trying to hold the family together. This was a very interesting book, it had a lot of twist and turns and it made the work very exciting.

Jenna is having a very bad year she thinks she might be dying ,and when she passes out one day Casey races her to the hospital only to get into a car accident. Jenna wakes up in the crash and sees her brother unconscious and she did something she hasn't done in a long time she prayed, she prayed for her brother to be alright and alive. She wakes up in the hospital and her brother is there looking better than ever angelic like, Amber the EMT who helped Jenna, figures out that Jenna’s condition isn’t all from the crash, the hospital runs tests on Jenna and finds out that she was being poisoned. Jenna is thankful at first however when Amber continues to hang out around Casey, she grows suspicious of Amber and with good reason, when Casey tells Jenna why Amber is hanging around. Jenna is caught up in a life changing moment, that will well change her life in ways she didn't even think possible.

This was a very good book a mystery book with a hint of something that I can’t describe, the scenes were realistic and the dialogue scenes between Casey and Jenna. How Preble infused the story with the theme of angels is something that should be praised. This book was very good I give The Sweet Dead Life by Joy Preble a 4 out of 6.
