After Alex Died by Dakota MadisonDakota Madison has written a story around a topic that we are all quite aware of in today's society.  Bullying!Now the story is fiction so of course there are some things that may have happened a little too fast around the romance part of the story. But in saying that I think the situation warrant's itself to get some major points across to the reader.Deedee DeMarco is a young woman who just completed her first year of college and is pretty much broken.  Her brother Alex committed suicide and Deedee is still grieving the loss of her brother and is struggling to move forward. Dealing with so many different issues herself. Besides losing her brother it appears she has lost herself, parents and friends.  Truly feeling alone in the world.Now this story shows so many sides to how bullying affects everyone to Alex, Deedee, parents, friends and even the bully at times.I have to give Dakota Madison high praise for writing this story as she brings up so many issues facing so many young people today. Being gay, lonely, grief, suicide and living your life after the loss of a family member and moving forward.I have rated After Alex a 4 star rating and want to say that anyone reading this review should defiantly buy this book.I received After Alex free in exchange for an honest review.
