Book after im gone While Emily is struggling to navigate her new normal as an instant mother she remains disturbed about the circumstances surrounding her sister s death Deep secrets have seemingly been buried and just might be coming to the surface While the book began to read to me as a psychological thriller it is anything but In fact it is an excellent women s fiction novel with family drama and secrets It was impossible not to feel compassion for Emily Hayley and Mia all for very different reasons Equally heartbreaking and heartwarming the story was fabulous throughout. PDF After I'm gone Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review This is my honest opinion 1835255620 We have Emily whose sister has just passed away after an accident She made a promise to her sister that should anything happen to her then she would take care of her two daughters Hayley and Mia Hayley is a very difficult child that is continually lashing out and has alot of anger issues that Emily can t believe is all down to her sisters death Emily believes that something happened on the night her sister died so she tries to discover exactly what happened Along the way secrets are exposed and some hometruths revealed This really was a book of two halves for me the first half got me thinking it was a mystery with a focus on who killed her sister I didn t like any of the characters and was a little bored and struggled to get through it Then out of nowhere just over half way I just started getting really involved in what was happening with this family and I was totally invested in their wellbeing It was just so emotional what they were going through it was realistic with the raw emotion of losing a parent and how to move on from that Please stick with this book you won t regret it The writing is good the character building was slow but then bam it hits you and you start to really care about these kids.
