A review by bibliobrandie
Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

2.0

Julia Alvarez is one of my favorite authors so I was thrilled to see she had a new adult book out. Sadly, I had to force myself to finish this one. It’s really disjointed and the characters are not at all developed or likable. It touches on themes of immigration and mental illness and loss, but in such a shallow way that I’m not really sure what she is trying to do here.
