Review: Wow!!! This book drained me... (and, I mean that in a good way).

Between Before and After is riveting, emotional, and brilliantly written . It tells of what happens to those that are left in the wake of a suicide. Just be warned that this is not a light read. It will pull at your heart strings and leave your heart hurting for those left to live in the aftermath of Danny. I absolutely loved Amanda Dick’s, Absolution, so I just couldn’t wait to start this one.What are the first thoughts that pop into your head after reading the blurb? I couldn’t stop thinking:1. I can’t wait to find out what the “shocking discovery” is, and I probably have to wait until the end – argh, not sure I can wait that long………..2. I’m going to be really upset if we don’t find out why Danny did it.These thoughts turned this into a page-turner for me. Just like Absolution, I couldn’t tap the Kindle pages fast enough. But, reading Between Before and After was much more than finding out the answers. Amanda creates characters that are human, and you can’t help but become attached to them and what they are living through. Throw in a great story and fabulous writing and…… voila, you have a story that is certainly hard to put down.Amanda handled a very difficult subject with grace and understanding. This is one of those books I love because there aren’t many out there like it, and it’s the perfect book when you’re in need some something original and darn good!
