Love After Love tells the story of three family members from Trinidad: a middle-aged woman called Betty, her son Solo and the man who rents out their extra room, Mr. Chetan.

The story has some very high points for me:
- the description of life in Trinidad,
- the mouth-watering paragraphs narrating how local dishes are prepared,
- the relationships between characters, and
- character development as a whole.

However, the ending felt unnecessary to me. The violent death of the main LGBTIQ+ character was used to advance the story of the heteronormative characters. It could and should have been done differently.

TW: self-harm, domestic abuse, homophobia.
