After Me Comes the Flood by Sarah Perry
1.0
1 star
I’ll be 100% blunt, this book was definitely not for me.
I did not enjoy the imagery because I found it difficult to follow. I don’t believe the story followed the synapses on the back of the book, which is the reason I bought it.
This story was supposed to be about a man who ended up wandering into a house that he did not know, but then the people living inside were expecting him.
Then, we get left with this idea that there would be a mystery.
However, I was left wondering what I was reading, why I was reading it, and then getting frustrated that I felt cheated while reading it.
I feel terrible that I’m saying these things, because I know others have really enjoyed this story, but it was not for me. I think the part the upset me the most was there was just…nothing to really read. I was not interested in the characters, I honestly didn’t know who they were in the end.
Just not my book.
