Mini Freak Out: Touching the Surface by Kimberly Sabatini

Mini Freak Out

Goodreads Blurb

When Elliot finds herself dead for the third time, she knows she must have messed up, big-time. She doesn’t remember how she landed in the afterlife again, but she knows this is her last chance to get things right.
     Elliot just wants to move on, but first she will be forced to face her past and delve into the painful memories she’d rather keep buried. Memories of people she’s hurt, people she’s betrayed…and people she’s killed.
     As she pieces together the secrets and mistakes of her past, Elliot must find a way to earn the forgiveness of the person she’s hurt most, and reveal the truth about herself to the two boys she loves…even if it means losing them both forever.

So, I had so many mixed feelings about Touching the Surface, so I'm refraining from giving a rating, because half of me wants to give a high rating, the other wants to give a 2 or 3. 

While I loved the premise of it, it was more innocent than I expected, though I'm deciding if that was good...or bad? I loved the originality of it, how Kimberly Sabatini created this afterlife, but it seems like one of those hilarious fun reads, than the serious paranormal one I was expecting.But it was a wonderful surprise, don't doubt that! Just not what I was expecting!!! There were so many twists that made my head hurt and I LOVED that! And err...obviously, I had a few strong feelings in a few *cough* a lot *cough* parts! the writing was just gorgeous and I loved it! 

The situations though...they were so tough. I just wanted to hug all the characters sometimes, slap others, then just cuddle with my copy of Touching the Surface and huddle into a pile. 

What was a bit iffy for me were the characters. While they each had their own personalities, they wren't very well developed and were a bit flat in my opinion! The book also was a bit quick in a few parts, but only for like a page or two, then it was just the awesomness that was left! There was also a bit insta-love, if you can call it that! After all, HELLO soul mates! (Seriously. Where's mine lol?)
