Wow, what a read.  If I was stranded on a desert island and could only bring 5 books, After Forever Ends would be on my list.  I love it that much.  I could say it's a story about growing up, family, love and the circle of life but that doesn't do justice to the magic contained within the pages.It made me howl with laughter and later with tears and then with laughter again.  The dialogue is as sharp as a knife and totally realistic as are all the characters.  Sil, the main character, is strong, feisty, loveable and perfectly imperfect and I won't forget her or the twins in a hurry.  Set in a boarding school and later in a house in the woods, the locations are another huge plus for me.In a way it reminded me of `Anne of Green Gables' (with bad language and more action!), not that the story is any way similar just that book made me feel the same way after reading it.  It makes me feel optimistic, reminds me of how beautiful nature is, how love is the only thing that really matters and to always look for the funny side to every situation.  And it taught me that you have to feed the magic to see it work.I know this is a book, I will read over and over again.  To sum up, you need to go read this book for yourself, you can thank me later!
