mirichasha 's review for:

The Afterward by E.K. Johnston
4.0

This was written in a kind of... fairy-tale-esque hazy voice? Like, kind of detached, but not necessarily in a bad way, told as if it’s a retelling of something that happened so long ago the feelings are part of a story rather than immediately happening to the characters or even memories? In saying that, queer fairytales are my favorite! But I also didnt get as emotionally invested as I would have if the voice was different. I did enjoy this book, just didn’t fuuuuuully hook me.
