Reviews for After Innocence

[spelite-1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book was just... such a drag. It is cliché. You know what is going to happen before it happens, it is just a matter of when. The entire plot hinges on the fact that neither half of the couple will say "I love you," dragging out misadventures and hijinks where both of the characters are convinced that the other does not love him or her. That is pretty much the entirety of this book. Also the (spoilers) dead parent coming back from the grave subplot was such a mess of a soap opera.
