A review by tfredrick
After We Fall by Emma Kavanagh

3.0

The front of this book presents it as a thriller, but I didn't experience it that way. (In fact, I listened to the first 2/3 of the book on my phone and was surprised when I switched to the print copy and saw "thriller" on the cover.) There IS a murder (which was not particularly difficult for me to figure out once Kavanaugh revealed the connections among the characters), but I didn't find it to be a particularly engaging part of the story.

What I did like was the way Kavanaugh presented characters dealing with trauma and grief. Most of her characters are flawed, and I didn't always like the choices they made, but they felt real--particularly Celia, Jim, and Tom.
