I was going to give it 4.5 stars because the plot at the beginning was kind of slow but I was so captivated by the plot twists and storyline that I can forgive it for being slower at the beginning. I can't wait to be able to reread this book.

This was recommended to me by my local bookseller and I absolutely loved it! I finished it in only a few hours because I couldn’t put it down.

Afterlove is a bittersweet tale that highlights queer relationships and explores cultures in a beautiful way.

Will definitely read again

It starts off slowly, I couldn't get into it at first. But I kept listening because the first chapter had hooked me so I wanted to learn more. Eventually it gets better, but I do wish the ending was definitive instead of leaving it up to the reader to decide what they think happens to the main character.
