starryeyesali 's review for:

Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle

3.5

dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I loved the idea of this book - really unusual idea that somebody could experience the memories of the dead through the aftertastes of their significant food experiences. I wanted more about the individual "ghosts"and their backgrounds, some of which seemed to be swept over quite quickly, and without enough wonder from the people experiencing the encounters with dead loved ones. The ending was unsatisfying for me and overall the book meandered in places. But it was a solid 3.5 stars and I enjoyed it, would recommend giving it a go!

Thank you to Netgalley for the free audiobook of this in return for a review!
