After the Pain by Gia Riley

4.0

In After the Pain, Gia Riley provided me with the characterization that I felt like I was missing in Between the Pain. I got to learn about the characters' background stories and see the development of Hallie and Sean's relationship through all of their ups and downs. I really felt like I was able to connect to the characters in After the Pain, and I really cared what happened to them throughout the story. There were smiles and tears involved, a sure sign that I truly enjoyed a book! There was drama and there were definitely ups and downs, but in the end, there was resolution, and Hallie and Sean got the happy ending that they deserved and that I so wanted for them!
