The girl above her, she later found out, was named Thandi, who told her that they were dead along with all the other people on the ship they were on. The two girls became fast friends. Thandi died by getting shot in the head, Liz told her she got hit by a car.

If you like this book a lot, go out and buy it!! I highly recommend this book . It’s very humorous even though it is a little creepy. The character was like someone I know because Liz is always asking questions about everything, I guess she has a good reason to because she is dead, or is she?
