My.

God.' on multiple occasions. I won't tell you anything else about it. Just read it.

-- John Green nSeth drowns, desperate and alone. But then he wakes. Naked, thirsty, starving.

But alive. And where is he? The street seems familiar, but everything is abandoned, overgrown, covered in dust.

He remembers dying, his skull bashed against the rocks. Has he woken up in his own personal hell? Is there more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife?

From the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls comes one of the most provocative teen novels of our time.n
