Aftershocks by Marisa Reichardt

3.0

I think my expectations for this book were set too high, since I absolutely loved this authors other book “underwater”. It wasn’t what I expected it to be when I originally read the description. I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters and I didn’t feel the connection between the characters themselves. But I did like the conversations that the main character, Ruby, and Charlie had while stuck underneath the rubble. Some of the conversations were light, while others took a dark turn. I appreciated and liked how the author decided to display the timeline too. It wasn’t complicated. My favorite part was how Charlie’s situation turned out because I didn’t expect it at all. I kept holding out to the end for a different outcome, but when I got to the final chapter, I accepted his fate. I recommend this book to people who are in a reading slump and need a quick and easy read to get them out of it!
