Oh, that’s right, we talk about your love life. We sit with you in class. We know all about that thing you did last night. How do we know? We watch you. We go to those dance clubs with you. We scheme hideous outcomes for you. We know exactly what it is that will get you to our side. We create those wrong friendships you wished you never had. We invite you into those relationships that break your heart. We give you the life you never wanted, but it came at such a sweet price. We promised you the world and you took it like a kid wanting candy. All. Too. Easy. All I can say is, please, don’t let me get in the way of the worst ending of your life. I’m right behind you. I’ll open that door to frustration, nonsense and destruction.
Please. After You. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This book definitely did not turn out as I expected. In a good way!
Here, you can see how, in everyday life, temptations come in between us and God, and how it isn't always easy to choose the right way. It also shows the power of praying for others, and, even though YOU (or the person being prayed for) aren't doing the praying, it can still change everything.
After You is written exquisitely- it almost felt as if I was right there, witnessing everything and hearing everyone's thoughts.
I definitely enjoyed this one of a kind book, and am looking forward to reading more of Rodgers' books!
Things I Loved:
-Honestly, everything. It was expertly written, I loved the characters, plot, all of it!
