Review: After Life by Gayle Forman

After Life by Gayle Forman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Read for Battle 27

This is a short but VERY powerful book. It took me just a couple of hours to read but the feelings and emotions it makes you go through is strong. It made me cry at the end! 

The idea of loving someone so much they come back from the dead is beautiful. Amber died 7 years ago and yet she shows up at her house as if she never left. And in my mind, that's because of Melissa, her younger sister. Melissa never stopped taking to Amber. Never stopped believing she wasn't there to ask questions to. And that is honestly so beautiful to think about. 

I, at first, got annoyed with all of the viewpoints only beautiful i didn't know who some of them were. But once you delve into the story it all comes together and makes the meaning of this novel more powerful. Gayle Forman once again created a deep story that fills the readers hearts with love and possibilities. 

I'm glad i read this book. It will stay with me for awhile and leave the powerful question: "What If?".
