I had read 'After I've Gone' by Linda Green the day it arrived in the post. The book in it perfect condition and dispite it's size, it was great for the price. *****SPOILDERS BELOW***** The book starts off quite slow in my opinion but it is decently paced throughout the middle and I think the ending was a little rushed. It suddenly just finished and we didn't really get to see how the supporting characters reacted towards the decision of the main character. It also left a lot of unanswered questions unsolved. How was she able to see the facebook posts and who sent them? why was she the only one who could see these posts and no one else? How did she know about the future and things unknown through facebook? The ending felt like it suddenly just ended and we had still yet more to learn and explore and I think it would be a great concept to further look into if the book carried on. I would love to know the aftermath of her decision and what happens to Lee's family, her best friend, and the job she was employed at. The book explores some really important themes in terms of how domestic violence starts and what are the triggers and influences that causes a person to hit their spouse and eventually would ultimately go as far as taking their life. It also shows how people pretend to be who they're really not, and hide things that are extremely important from their lives just to win over the other person. Win they achieve their goal, their true face begins to unravel themselves and the mask they've put on, burns off. Overall, I think the book was really good despite the small nitpicks I have for it, and I think if they were addressed, the book would be a 5* must read. I would give the book 3 stars out of 5, for an ambitious plot that lead somewhere, but could have gone a lot further than it did.Read full review
