"Gayle Forman has an uncanny ability to create characters in which we see ourselves, and her latestwhich looks at where love goes, after a lossis an honest, heartbreaking elegy to how memory makes relationships eternal." Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"I was consumed by this thought-provoking, deftly written, multilayered novel. Gayle Forman reigns as the queen of breaking hearts with a touch of magic." Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
One spring afternoon after school, Amber arrives home on her bike. It's just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber's mom sees her, she screams.
Because Amber died seven years ago, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she's inexplicably riding now.
This return doesn't only impact Amber. Her sister, Melissa, now seven years older, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber's estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber's friends, boyfriend, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone's turmoil, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance?
This magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death, examines the impact that one person can have on the world, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity.
But as Amber tries to piece together the life she left behind, will she find answers or only more heartbreak?

A heartfelt story about grief, acceptance and hope...
Amber died. Exactly seven years later she is riding her amber colored bike home from school, like she always did, not knowing she shouldn't be here. Amber doesn't know it yet but she has been given a chance to say goodbye and fix all the things that shattered after her sudden and unexpected death. Gayle Forman's writing style and the short chapters of "After Life" make it easy and fun to read, though the topic of this book isn't fun at all. "After Life" had me in a chokehold from the beginning and if I'm being honest it also made me cry a little, especially at the end when all the puzzel pieces are being put together and Ambers ghost can finally find the peace that she deserves. -

About unfinished chapters and second chances
“What would the world look like if I wasn’t here anymore?” A lot of people ask themselves this question at some point in their life and in this novel seventeen-year-old Amber has to find out that answer. After dying in an accident, she comes back to life years later to find how the world moved on without her. Her sister grew up, her parents grew apart, and her friends lived their high school experience. Throughout the book you get to see all different kinds of emotions, both from Amber and those she left behind. With Amber secrets come back alive and unfinished business haunts those who caused her death all those years ago. A truly captivating young adult novel that I ate up in one setting!
