Critics Review
Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay, returns to magical realism with her latest novel, After Life, which weaves various stories together as Amber struggles to make sense of her new existence - it’s as much a tangled small-town drama as it is an exploration of grief and death. The ending may feel like a cop-out for some readers, though it’s very much in line with Forman’s previous work; if you prioritise feelings over worldbuilding then it will leave you in an undignified sobbing heap on the floor, as the best books often do. * Irish Times *
A very powerful and thought-provoking novel, exploring ideas around grief, love and how one person can affect others in varying ways. * Reading Zone *
After Life is a story capturing a poignant moment in time in the lives of a grieving family and those connected to them. It is an enthralling tale that keeps you guessing until almost the very last page. * School Reading List *
A brilliantly imaginative and believable ‘what if ?’ story which leaves YA readers with comfort and hope. * The Jewish Chronicle *
Heartrending and strangely hopeful book for young adults aged 14 plus. * The Sunday Post *
