I enjoyed this book but it was way too simple for me. I feel like the simplicity would be good for a younger audience however the subject of being abducted for several years might be frightening for too young of a reader. I never felt super connected to either of the two main characters which was rather disappointing. Sure, they were likable, but I didn't feel very attached. The book held my attention and I definitely found myself wanting to read every night which is great. However, I felt like things were flowing nicely at the end - I pressed the turn page button on my Kindle - and the book was over. It felt very abrupt and I didn't like that things didn't really wrap up. I know the book is called "Afterward" and is mainly about after the kidnapping, but I would have liked to have learned a little more about Ethan and Dylan's time being away.
