The Beginning of After
of Jennifer Castle (Goodreads Author)
Description
Anyone whoâs had something truly crappy happen to them will tell you: Itâs all about Before and After. What Iâm talking about here is the ka-pow, shake-you-to-your-core-and-turn-your-bones-to-plastic kind of crappy.Sixteen-year-old Laurelâs world changes instantly when her parents and brother are killed in a terrible car accident. Behind the wheel is the father of her bad-boy neighbor, David Kaufman, whose mother is also killed. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Laurel navigates a new reality in which she and her best friend grow apart, boys may or may not be approaching her out of pity, overpowering memories lurk everywhere, and Mr. Kaufman is comatose but still very much alive. Through it all there is David, who swoops in and out of Laurelâs life and to whom she finds herself attracted against her better judgment. She will forever be connected to him by their mutual lossâa connection that will change them both in unexpected ways.Jennifer Castleâs debut novel is a heart-wrenching, surprisingly witty testament to how drastically life can change in the span of a single moment.
