woolsson 's review for:

After the End by Clare Mackintosh
4.0
emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The focus of this story is very challenging and I tend to stay away from such heavy themes when reading. This was for book club and I definitely wouldn't have chosen it myself. However, I was surprised at how easy the book was to read. I think it helped that you knew what was going to happen from the start. The book is well written with compelling characters. The book is bittersweet and leaves you reflecting.
