Annie LeBlanc Is Not Dead Yet

A Novel

By: Molly Morris

Narrated by: Georgina Sadler

Every ten years in the strange little town of Lennon, California, one person is chosen to return from the dead…

Wilson Moss entered the town’s top-secret contest in the hopes of resurrecting her ex-best friend Annie LeBlanc, but that doesn’t mean she thought she’d actually win. Now Annie’s back and Wil’s ecstatic—does it even really matter that Annie ghosted her a year before she died…?

But like any contest, there are rules, and the town’s resurrected dead can only return for thirty days. When Wil discovers a loophole that means Annie might be able to stay for good, she’s desperate to keep her alive. The potential key? Their third best friend, Ryan. Forget the fact that Ryan openly hates them both, or that she and Wilson have barely spoken since that awkward time they kissed. Wil can put it aside for one month; she just needs to stop thinking about it first.

Because Wil has one summer to permanently put an end to her loneliness—it’s that, or lose her only friends…again. But along the way, she might have to face some difficult truths about Annie’s past and their friendship that, so far, she’s left buried.

Critic reviews

"The continual countdown to Annie’s return to the afterlife gives the story tangible stakes...This is a clever, lightly magical title."—Booklist

"The story is fresh and well executed, simultaneously feeling both perfectly convincing and truly bizarre."—Kirkus Reviews

"Morris’s deft handling of the teens’ intertwining histories and the little mythologies that make up the language of adolescent friendships imbues this speculative rom-com with well-timed comedy and plenty of angst."—Publishers Weekly

Annie LeBlanc Is Not Dead Yet

My friends & I decided to do a book club together and this was the first book that was decided. We all have a little different taste in what we read, so we thought it would be fun to experience reading each other’s picks. This book is one that I’m not sure I would have picked on my own, but it also wasn’t completely out of my wheelhouse. I decided to listen to it on audible and I’m so glad I did! Not only did I truly enjoy the book, but I also loved the narrator! I loved how different each character felt & sounded. This was a great book to start our book club with & kept me wanting more. I would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed this book

The story was sad, funny poignant, and so fun to listen to. I listen in my car and I would sit in my car longer than I had to just to hear more. The narrator was great also. I’ll be looking out for new titles by this author. it might be classified as a YA book, but I am a 40 year old woman and loved it.
