THE BOOK
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Good thing
she's already dead.
Liv Creep is dead. And she’s pretty sure that makes her a monster. Her body parts sometimes fall off. Her diet is (ew, you know). And and she has to protect the biggest secret in history...the dead live among us. But the worst part is Ryan. The cutest guy ever. He would never like a girl like her. A dead girl. A freak.
Then when Kaitlyn Ashley, the school’s meanest social media star, discovers Liv’s crush and threatens epic social media humiliation, things get even worse. So Liv and her very human best friend, Di, devise the perfect revenge plan. The only problem is…
if it doesn’t work, Liv will have to admit what she really is. To the world.
To Ryan. To herself.
THE WORLD
Life’s deep when you’re dead. There’s secrets to keep and a new family with closets full of actual skeletons. Liv’s doing her best not to fall apart. Sometimes literally. Dig into the notes she took to make sense of it all.
