After by Amy Efaw


Pub Date: August 20, 2009

Summary: Who would leave their own baby in the trash to die?

Devon would never do that, or would she?

Straight-A student. Star soccer player. More mature then her own mother.

No one can imagine why Devon did what she did.

But panic and desperation played a major part.

Now Devon is in a juvenile detention center.

She’s being charged with attempted murder.

If Devon is tried as an adult, she will spend her whole life in jail.

All her dreams will be destroyed.

Devon says that she didn’t know she was pregnant.

Was she in such denial that she couldn’t see the signs?

Or did Devon have a devious, premeditated plan?

As Devon faces a future behind bars, the truth will slowly come out.

Rating: 5 Stars

Review: I loved After. It was an amazing book. Amy Efaw is such an amazing writer. I really couldn’t put this book down. The characters were amazing and pulled me in from the very beginning. I'm so lucky that I had the chance to read this book before it's published. I loved this book from the beginning. Everything about it just pulled me in. The middle of the book wasn't slow at all like some books are. But the ending for this book, took my breath away. I was not expecting it at ALL. It fit the book so wonderfully. In the back of my mind, I knew this book would have an unexpected ending. It was just needed, but I didn't see it ending this way. I think that's why I really loved this book. You have to read this book the first chance you get!

I love the idea of this book, So raw and original, which is one reason I really want to read it. After strikes me as it may be kinda tough to handle in some places but well worth it. Very well written review. Thanks for posting.
