A review by allibruns
After the Fall by Kate Hart
2.0
The beginning of this was reminiscent of a Courtney Summers novel, where it's gritty, real, uncomfortable and you aren't even sure if you like these characters. There were some things I really liked; Raychel's murky feelings towards the first sexual assault, Raychel feeling already hindered by her financial situation and how it affects her future and her complete honesty with herself after the second assault.
What I didn't like was how this almost felt like two books and I would of liked it better if it was. I didn't care for how the sexual assault was slipped under the rug. I felt as though the author tried to take on too much; grief, double standards, rumors, sexual assault, being poor, and family problems and in the end none of it worked.
