Lovely Bones is about a girl, Susie Salmon who dies, as she says in the second sentence. She is murdered by someone who has killed many girls just like her. From heaven Susie watches the people she loves grow and forget about her.
When Susie left to heaven she touched her friend, Ruth, and Ruth immediately became fixated with her. Susie watched as Ruth and the boy who had loved her, and she had loved, lived their life together, connecting out of her death. She watched as her mom cheated on her dad and as her brother grew up without her.
There are two parts of heaven. The part that watches the earth, the part where the people can go into their own worlds, relive moments when they were alive, and the part that can never again connect to earth. Susie's grandparents are in that other part, as Susie learns as she chooses whether to stay or go.
Lovely Bones was a really good book, but very creepy! I recommend it if you have some patience, its long and very descriptive, and like to be scared a bit. It's really great writing and I loved it!
