The Afterlife by Ksenia Anske
2.0
So, I'm a little disappointed in this read. It was very hard for me to get through. I stuck it out because I love Ksenias writing. The ending felt like it took too long to get to, and once I did, I was a bit disappointed. The ending felt very early 2000's Disney channel, which may have come from a personal place because of the sensitive subjects of the series.
I'm also a bit disappointed that an ableist slur was used in this book. I understand that teens aren't quite aware of conscious language, it just made me uncomfortable.
Overall, I still enjoy Ksenia's writing, she knows how to turn a phrase, that's for sure. I will continue to read her work, because I enjoy it. This series was obviously not for me, though.
