Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay, returns to magical realism with her latest novel, After Life, which weaves various stories together as Amber struggles to make sense of her new existence - it's as much a tangled small-town drama as it is an exploration of grief and death. The ending may feel like a cop-out for some readers, though it's very much in line with Forman's previous work; if you prioritise feelings over worldbuilding then it will leave you in an undignified sobbing heap on the floor, as the best books often do. Irish TimesThe extraordinary new young adult novel from bestselling author ofIf I Stay, Gayle Forman.
