I finished this book this afternoon and I LOVED it. It is a simple story, well written, I loved the characters and I just really really loved this book.
Ellie, suffering from the loss of her unborn baby, Oliver and the withering of her self and her marriage is shocked when she learns that her best friend Lucy has been murdered. Not only that, but Lucy's daughter Sophie, age 8, has been a witness. Ellie immediately rushes across the Atlantic to London to be with Sophie.
Focusing on Sophie, her marriage completely collapses. Ellie is shocked to learn things she didn't know about her husband, her best friend and herself.
This was a lovely book (which pays homage to a fabulous book The Secret Garden) and I loved it. Did I already say that?
The author also wrote the book The Opposite of Love which I will be reserving as soon as I finish this post!
Thanks so much for the absolutely lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed AFTER YOU, and I so appreciate you taking the time to write about it. You'll have to let me know what you think of THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE!
