i recently finished Afterlove by Tanya Byrne
it wasn’t the best book, because i wish there were more parts elaborated… but i rated it 5/5 for me because of how devastating it made me feel and how unique the plot was.
i’m not getting over this any time soon. it has made me contemplate the concept of death. i’m not gonna really elaborate much but in high school i used to want to die. i’m well beyond those thoughts now thankfully, but after this book and after reading a lot of books on death, it has made me fully scared of death, especially when someone you care for and vice versa is still alive.
i have never experienced a death in my life at 23 that devastated me. my grandmas have died but i never saw them since they were in another country, but i was sad for my parents who seemed like they lost the world and after reading this book, i kind of don’t want to find a partner because it was emotionally devastating to read death in a pov of someone who is dead and had a loving family and girlfriend. of course i still want to find someone to love and love me back, but it’s a subconscious thought of how tragic it will be when one of us disappears forever
