Aftershocks by Marisa Reichardt
5.0
After Shocks by Marisa Reichardt is incredible!
This book is very fast paced, in the first chapter we get a glimpse into Ruby’s family life and after a fight with her mother she finds herself in a laundromat, trying to work up the courage to ask this preppy nerdy guy to buy her beer... That nerdy guy turns out to be a life saver! Charlie is an amazing character and Ruby and Charlie talk and share pieces of their lives with each other while stuck in the Rubble. Reichardt implements many lessons into her book, to always appreciate the little things in life, to tell your friends and family that you love them, to fight and stay strong. Reichardt also spotlights alcoholism and drinking, in Ruby’s bestfriend and even incorporates it into Charlie’s story. This story teaches so many lessons and is so emotional! I love this book!
