What do readers think of Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton? Write your own review.

If you can suspend your belief in science and reality and embrace two characters who exist in an imaginary world where they can see their physical bodies and communicate between themselves without ever encountering other beings like themselves, this is a good novel. The story and mystery and its resolution are satisfying, but the angel narrator and her similarly challenged daughter were too much for my sensibilities. Readers who embrace the idea of angels and ghosts will enjoy this book.

While I enjoyed the author's first book, I had to push myself to get through this one. All that the two central characters could see, hear, and do while "out of body" traveling was unbelievable. The mother's emotions seemed over the top at times, and the ending which I assume was supposed to make the reader joyful and teary eyed at the same time, only left me grimacing. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this copy!
