hazy_aurora 's review for:

Me After You by Mindy Hayes

5.0

---

This was almost a 3-4 star book. I thought it was just some round about way of writing a young love gone bad and then rediscovered story. But then I got to the end and in 2 paragraphs, I realized what the book was actually about and I got it. It's not about losing your first love or running away or becoming a young widow or facing your past or re-finding your first love. It's about the sort of loss that only those women who've experienced it can understand. It's about the way that life really is split into two parts. Me before you and me after you. It's about how even if you never "met" and only carry them close to you for a matter of weeks or months... They impact every piece of your soul when they're gone.

I'm not going to elaborate further because that was a profound moment for me and I hope other people see it. I'm not actually sure that everyone does. (I just read a bunch of reviews and nobody mentions it).

But in the end, worth reading. And I'm always a fan of supporting our talented indie writers!
