What Comes After by JoAnne Tompkins
4.0

I'm glad I picked this back up after a slow start, cause I ended up really liking it! This isn't a thriller at all or really a mystery either, it's one of those slow burn literary stories with a bit of suspense that don't always work for me. But when they do, it's because the characters get to me. Once I got into this, I ended up getting so invested in these complex characters. Sometimes it's good to come back to a book when you know you just weren't in the mood for it the first time!
