Reseña del editor

Imagine setting off for home one dark New Year's Eve and never reaching your front door. Imagine losing everything you've ever known in one horrific moment. Imagine knowing you'll never hug your mum or dad again. And imagine having to spend eternity in the most horrific, awful place you can think of... For fifteen year old Lucy Shaw, that's reality. Stuck in the men's toilets on Carnaby Street, she's trying to come to terms with her own death, the bone-crushing loneliness and a floor that's swimming with pee. Until the unlikeliest of saviours walks into her afterlife, that is - a twenty-seven year old lighting engineer called Jeremy, the only person who's ever known she was there. Together, they find a way to get Lucy out of the loo and discover there's a whole afterlife of mates, parties and boys just waiting to be discovered. But the shadow of Lucy's murderer is looming again and it's only a matter of time before someone else gets hurt. Is Lucy about to lose everything she loves again? 'Murray is someone to watch, her novel drives along with great gusto, there's plenty of fun to balance loss, it's boy meets girl but so refreshingly different.' --The Bookseller 'A wonderful debut novel which, as well as being laugh-out-loud funny, is full of insights, compassion and love.' -- Lovereading 'A funny and poignant book, with a ghostly teenage heroine torn between life and death, and childhood and maturity.' - Julie Cohen (Dear Thing, The Summer of Living Dangerously) 'Deeply moving and beautiful and funny and quirky, My So-Called Afterlife is a must read.' Liz de Jager (Banished) 'An engaging modern ghost story with heart...' Helen Grant (The Vanishing of Katharine Linden, Silent Saturday, The Demon of Ghent) 'If only all ghosts novels were as spookily hilarious as this one. A wonderful read.' Hilary Freeman (Camden Town Tales, Loving Danny, Lifted)
