A review by cecooper
After by Nikki Gemmell

1.0

DNF at 60% because I could not stand the judgemental tone any longer. The author is so incredibly harsh on suicide victims and vilifies her mother so completely. The book read more like ‘here is a list of all the things my mother did to hurt me’ than an actual insightful memoir. I found it upsetting to read because of the author’s close mindedness. I understand that the author is hurting, so perhaps this should’ve been written when the author has had more time to reflect. Instead it reads as an attack.
