After

by Kristin Harmel

Lacey's world shatters when her dad is killed in a car accident. And secretly? She feels like it’s her fault. If she hadn’t taken her own sweet time getting ready that morning . . . well, it never would have happened. Her mom wouldn’t be a basket case. Her brother Logan wouldn’t drink. And her little brother would still have two parents.But life goes on even if you don’t want it to. And when Lacey gets the chance to make a difference in the lives of some people at school, she jumps at it. Making lemonade out of lemons is her specialty. Except she didn’t count on meeting a guy like Sam. Or that sometimes? Lemonade can be a pretty bitter drink to swallow.

[Olga Kowalska (WielkiBuk) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wzruszająca, mądra powieść obyczajowa o wyrzutach sumienia, o okrucieństwie losu, o rodzinie, która podnosi się po stracie.

„Potem” to rozpaczliwa wiwisekcja żałoby i godzenia się ze stratą, widziana oczami dorastającej młodej dziewczyny. Nastolatki, której przyszło zmierzyć się z największym możliwym bólem – utratą rodzica, zbyt wcześnie. Przygotowując się do pisania tej powieści, Kristin Harmel spotkała się z członkami Kate’s Club w Atlancie. To organizacja, która pomaga młodym ludziom, którzy zmagają się ze stratą rodzica, rodzeństwa, kogoś bliskiego. Pomaga im przetrwać najgorszy czas, oferuje opiekę psychologiczną, ale wspiera również ich na dalszej drodze życia. Ich misja jest prosta: pogodzić się z żałobą. Poddać się procesowi cierpienia, bólu, złości. Dać sobie czas, a potem… żyć dalej. To właśnie to tytułowe „Potem” jest tak ważne w powieści Harmel. To, co nadchodzi po końcu tamtego świata. Gdy wydarzyło się najgorsze. Jak sobie z tym wszystkim poradzić i przetrwać.

„Potem” to powieść intensywna emocjonalnie, mądra i pełna czułości względem bohaterów. Kristin Harmel przygląda się młodych ludziom, nastolatkom, dla których każdy kolejny dzień to przecież małe trzęsienie ziemi. A gdy mierzą się ze stratą ukochanego rodzica? Nie ukrywam – powieść czyta się ze łzami w oczach, tym bardziej, jeśli sami przeżywamy żałobę, gdy wciąż czujemy to ukłucie rozpaczy w sercu. Również wtedy, gdy wspominamy stratę sprzed lat. To przecież również boli czasami tak, że nie można złapać tchu. „Potem” przypomina jednak, że po deszczu wychodzi słońce, każdy koszmar dobiega kiedyś końca i można dalej żyć. Trzeba żyć. Na przekór wszystkiemu. I to nadzieja jest tu najważniejsza.

I love Kristin Harmel’s books. Truly. And this is way different from anything she writes nowadays. It’s a YA novel about a girl grieving the loss of her father and forming a friendship in school with other children who are grieving. It was short, sweet, emotional. I read it in about two hours. I liked it

3.5 ⭐️

[Haylee · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was definately not a terrible read. But there were some major things that should've/could've been changed to make it more realistic and likeable.

Firstly, let me start off by saying that the writing was the main problem in this book. The characters did not have enough differences. I mean sure, you have Logan who has a temper, and a bunch of stereotypical mean girls, but the author had them say the same lines a lot, even though they're different people. For example, whenever a character didn't know a good comeback, they would always say:

"Yeah, well,"

Every. single. character. I'm sorry, but people don't all talk the same way. It just really bugged me. A simple problem, with a simple solution. I can't believe the editor didn't catch it.

Another thing I did not like about this book was the fact that the characters were. not. real. I mean, they always were doing and thinking unrealistic things. These are high school students, they don't act like that.

Here's an example. If your going to read this book then don't read this paragraph because it has a small spoiler in it. Okay, here it is: ********SPOILER********* The main character Lacey, decides she's gonna start this club for people who lost their parents, to "help them feel normal". ****** I'm sorry, first of all, no teenager would have the guts or stupidity to ask a bunch of students they don't know well to come to some club to talk about their dead parents. And secondly, the kids who lost a parent would NOT be eager to go to some group like that. I mean, be real. These are teenagers, that stuff is embarrassing and weird. And they aren't suddenly going to like it just because they tell eachother how their parent died.

Another thing that bothered me:
WHY DOES THERE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SOME MYSTERIOUS NEW GUY WHO INSTANTLY FALLS IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO YOU'D LEAST EXPECT HIM TO?????

I can't give the author too much crap about that one though, because pretty much every romance novel is like that. But it still annoys the crap out of me.

What did I like about this book? Well, Sam, the main guy was cute and it was a fairly cute story. Also, she didn't give into peer pressure and drink and destroy her health like a lot of the depressed teen characters do in a lot of the newer books. So it wasn't a terrible read. I don't feel like I got ANYTHING out of it though. But hey, not all books can be amazing.

[Mozaika Literacka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Niesamowicie angażująca historia. Przesiąknięta mrokiem rozdzierającej tęsknoty, w przekazie emocji nadzwyczaj przenikliwa, refleksyjna i poruszająca, wyrażona intencjonalnie głosem dotkniętej tragedią narracji. W zawiesinie pogubionych nastoletnich myśli, w bukiecie mocno traumatycznych wspomnień, w zarzewiu ważnych przyjacielskich słów, dojrzewa piękno najważniejszego z uczuć – euforycznie kształtowanej miłości. Fabularnie spontanicznej, choć otulonej sceniczną nieśmiałością, a jednak coraz ofensywniej eksplorującej poruszone serca. Kristin Harmel infiltruje destruktywny czas żałoby, aby w jego wybrakowanym scenariuszu, poszukać bohaterom prawdziwie kojącej przyszłości.

[Liz Fichera · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poignant. Adults and teens who've lost a parent will appreciate the emotional content of this novel and the grieving process descriptions and frustrations.

[Anka_wie_ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Niestety ale ta książka mnie rozczarowała. Temat żałoby po rodzicu można było naprawdę wspaniale pokazać i rozwinąć a mam wrażenie, ze autorka zrobiła to po łebkach. Historia jest dość płytka, bohaterowie jednowymiarowi tak jakby sam fakt śmierci miał sprawić, że ta powieść nas wzruszy.

[Steph | bookedinsaigon · Rating 3 out of 5]

AFTER is a gentle and sweet read about death and love. The book doesn’t cover any new ground, but it makes for a quick, pleasant read.

The characters’ dilemmas regarding, grief, friendship, family, and love are realistically complex. Grief affects people differently, and in AFTER we get to see many different facets of it: Lacey’s younger brother’s silent withdrawal, her older brother diving into a relationship that she can’t understand, her mother flinging herself into work and neglecting the rest of the family. The different situations, breakdowns, and verbal showdowns that Kristin Harmel portrays in this story are rendered accurately and sensitively.

However, many of the characters’ interactions with one another still felt rather forced to me. While I appreciated and could even understand Lacey’s uncertain feelings toward Sam, it is not well explained why Sam had such a persistent interest in her. And, unfortunately, there really was nothing new in this book: there are already a number of YA books on grief out there.

AFTER is a quick but ultimately forgettable read that may perhaps best be enjoyed by readers who either understand what Lacey is going through or are looking for an easy and quick read.

[A Ahmad · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would rate this book a 5/5 because I truly enjoyed most parts of it! One thing I didn’t enjoy was the fact that her father passed away—but I also understand that everything happens for a reason, and we can’t change fate or the past.

Everyone copes with grief differently—some by cleaning out rooms, others through denial, drinking, or finally reaching acceptance.

The main character’s name is Lacey. She has two brothers: Logan and Kyle. Logan, the older brother, reacts to their father's death by withdrawing emotionally, acting like everything is fine, and bottling up his grief. Kyle, the younger brother, acts out, needs extra comfort and attention, and struggles to express himself. Their mother becomes emotionally distant, tries to stay strong for her children, and silently carries the weight of her own sorrow.

Lacey joins a support group, where she meets others going through similar losses. Through this group, she begins to process her emotions and slowly starts to heal. She makes meaningful friendships that help her realize she’s not alone in her pain.

In the end, After reminds us that even when the world feels broken, healing is possible—and that sometimes, the people who come into your life after loss are the ones who help you shine again. And even though the pain may never truly fade, sometimes, through the cracks in your heart, you can still find a rainbow.

Cute story about a family dealing with the loss of the husband and father. Easy read.

This was a sad & emotional story about a girl who is grieving the loss of her father.

[Maitiri books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Książka opowiada o tym, jak Lacey, szesnastolatka, która w wypadku straciła tatę, radzi sobie z emocjami. A właściwie jak sobie z nimi nie radzi. Pewnego dnia dziewczyna ociąga się z wyjściem z domu, a potem wydarza się wypadek, w którym jej tata ginie na miejscu. Lacey rozpada się świat. Nastolatka ciągle wyrzuca sobie, że mogła tego dnia się pospieszyć, że mogła coś zrobić i wtedy byłoby jak dawniej. Uważa, że to przez nią jej ukochany rodzic nie życie, drugi jest kłębkiem nerwów i ucieka w pracę, młodszy brat coraz bardziej zamyka się w sobie, a starszy zaczyna pić. Czas jednak biegnie dalej, życie toczy się normalnie, mimo że nie powinno, skoro wszystko się zmieniło. A w życiu Lacey i jej rodziny wszystko się wali. Po pewnym czasie trwania w takim stanie, nastolatka poznaje Sama, który podobnie jak ona ma za sobą ciężkie doświadczenia z przeszłości.

Nie sięgałam wcześniej po powieści Harmel, bo pisze głównie powieści obyczajowe, które czytam od czasu do czasu, ale rzadziej niż inne gatunki. „Potem” mnie skusiło, bo to pozycja dla młodzieży, a literatura młodzieżowa obok fantastyki jest moim ulubionym gatunkiem. Zacznę może od tego, że widać w książce, że jest kierowana do młodszych odbiorców. Jest napisana w bardzo nieskomplikowany sposób, a trudne tematy, chociaż mocno poruszające, nie są zbyt wnikliwie analizowane. Dlatego ta pozycja jest jak najbardziej odpowiednia dla nastolatków. Traktuje zresztą o nich.

Książka porusza tematy straty, żałoby i powrotu do normalnego życia. Pokazuje, że powrót do normalności nie jest łatwą sprawą, jest procesem, który u każdego wygląda i trwa inaczej. Pokazuje też, jak na kogoś, kto stracił bliską osobę reaguje otoczenie. Często jest tak i widzę to również w normalnym życiu, że nie wiemy, jak się zachować w stosunku do takiej osoby, co mówić, co robić, czego ona by nie chciała, żebyśmy robili, co chciałaby usłyszeć. Nie wiemy tego i często się dystansujemy, pozostawiając ją samą sobie. Widać takie sytuacje w książce, widać też, jak tragedia, która się wydarzyła wpływa na rodzinę, jak powoli się ona rozpada. Jak drugi rodzic nie potrafi udźwignąć ciężaru swojej rozpaczy i nawala, zaniedbując nie tylko dom, ale i dzieci, które też tę stratę przecież przeżywają. I nie ma kto im pomóc.

„Potem” to pięknie napisana, wzruszająca i bardzo emocjonalna opowieść, która wyciska łzy. O nastolatkach i dla nastolatków, które nie radzą sobie ze stratą i związanymi z nią emocjami, które, podobnie jak Lacey, nie pragną współczucia, a zrozumienia. Polecam!

To moje pierwsze spotkanie z twórczością autorki, słyszałam o jej wcześniejszych powieściach, ale nie miałam okazji żadnej przeczytać, postanowiłam to zmienić właśnie przy okazji książki "Potem", do której sięgnięcia zachęcił mnie niesamowicie interesujący opis. Stylistyka i język jakim posługuje się autorka jest bardzo lekki i przyjemny co sprawia, że książkę czyta się niezwykle szybko, ja pochłonęłam ją w jeden poranek i nie odłożyłam póki nie poznałam zakończenia. Fabuła książki została w bardzo ciekawy sposób nakreślona, przemyślana i równie dobrze poprowadzona, a bohaterowie naprawdę świetnie wykreowani, to niezwykle autentyczne postaci, z którymi śmiało moglibyśmy się utożsamić w wielu kwestiach, podzielając podobne troski i dylematy moralne. Historia przedstawiona jest z perspektywy Lacey, co pozwoliło mi lepiej ją poznać, dowiedzieć się co czuje, jakie emocje nią targają, co myśli oraz z czym się mierzy, a tym samym mogłam lepiej zrozumieć jej postępowanie oraz decyzję. Na kartach tej powieści poruszany jest temat straty rodzica, żałoby oraz proces powrotu do normalnego życia, codzienności. Każda czytana strona wywoływała we mnie lawinę emocji, miałam ochotę po prostu wejść do tej powieści i przytulić Lacey, wesprzeć ją i jej bliskich w tym ciężkim okresie. Można powiedzieć, że w pewnym sensie nawet sama się utożsamiam z główną bohaterką, ponieważ moja mama umarła jak miałam 21 lat, natomiast moja siostra miała wtedy 16.. i tak jak Lacey czułam ból, cierpienie, poczucie niesprawiedliwości i straty. Jestem naprawdę pod wrażeniem odpowiedzialnego zachowania Lacey względem jej bliskich. Ogromnie spodobał mi się pomysł na "grupę wsparcia" osób, które straciły rodziców, która okazała się początkiem nowych znajomości i przyjaźni. Autorka na przykładzie swoich bohaterów pokazuje jak jedna chwila może zmienić życie człowieka, pokazuje również jak ważne w takich momentach jest wsparcie, troska i zrozumienie innych osób. "Potem" to emocjonująca, poruszająca i pełną życiowych mądrości i prawd historia, która udowadnia, że zawsze jest jakieś "potem" dające nadzieję na lepsze jutro. Myślę, że ta książka będzie idealną lekturą dla osób, które borykają się z podobnymi przeżyciami jak główna bohaterka! Miło spędziłam czas z tą książką i czekam już na kolejne powieści autorki! Polecam!

[Cassy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book that I've won off Goodreads and it is easily the best. It deals with a sixteen year old girl and her grief. It also deals with her family and how her entire world changes when her father is killed. I think Harmel did a very good job with describing the events of this young girl's life without going over the top.

Lacey's reaction to her father's death is that it was her fault. She believes that she was the reason for his death, mainly because she dragged her feet the morning it happened. She seems to deal with her grief by taking on every responsibility. Her family is falling apart around her and she constantly feels the need to fix things. I felt like she was trying to fix everything in the hope that it would make up for the one thing she couldn't fix.

Lacey also couldn't seem to drum up sympathy for anyone around her. Her best friend, Jennica, had parents who had just gone through a divorce. All Lacey could think was that at least they were still alive and, despite being such good friends with her, couldn't really see how it was worse than what Lacey herself was going through. It wasn't until Jennica's father remarried, and decided not to invite his two daughters to his wedding, that Lacey started to understand that just because your parent didn't die didn't mean you couldn't lose them.

Sam was the love interest of the story and was actually one part of the story that I didn't enjoy. His arrival seemed too well-placed. He moved into Lacey's school about ten months after Lacey's father died and plays the part of the understanding comforter and friend who has also lost a parent. He seemed to be everything she needed and, of course, Lacey, who had been closed off to everyone since her father died, opened up to Sam. Then, predictably, he betrayed her. However, to Harmel's credit, it was not in a way I thought. Harmel had Sam tell Lacey the ever ominous "I have something to tell you" line, which always ends up being something bad. I was betting on Sam being sick. Then Sam disappears for five days and Lacey finally talks to his aunt. It turns out that Sam's father isn't really dead; he was just in a coma and had woken up.

Lacey had started a group that consists of kids her age who have lost a parent, including her older brother. It isn't really a grief group; they've all been through that and couldn't stand it. It was just a group of people to hang out with who understood and weren't going to treat you differently. For the first time people weren't staring at them, weren't giving them sympathetic looks and they knew that the other people weren't befriending them for the sole reason that they had just lost a parent. It was a group of kids that finally started to feel normal again, if only for a few hours. Sam joined the group, not realizing at first that it was a group for kids whose parents had died, no just people who felt that they had lost them. When Lacey learns that, not only did he never clear up the misunderstanding, but now his father is awake and Same has gotten his second chance, she refuses to talk to him, feeling betrayed, and reasonably so. It wasn't quite the surprise I expected which counteracted the formulaic feeling I was starting to get in terms of the romance.

Lacey's family is also a mess. Her mother spends almost all of her time working, never really helping her kids in the way that they need it. She wasn't dealing with the situation so she couldn't really help her kids deal with it. Lacey's younger brother, Tanner, all but stopped speaking. If he said a sentence a day it was a big deal. He completely retreated into himself and even stopped hanging out with his friends. You find out later it's because he thinks that it wasn't right for him to feel happy, to be happy, now that his dad was gone. Lacey's older brother, Logan, started drinking heavily. Lacey's way of coping was trying to hold her family together. I liked the different reactions Harmel presented her readers with. No two people dealt with their grief in the same way. Lacey continually insisted that she was fine when it was obvious to everyone that she wasn't fine.

One of my favorite scenes in the book was when Lacey went to her father's grave on the one year anniversary of his death. She had been there earlier with her mother and younger brother but was once again taking care of her family. Later that evening, she went out running and ran to the cemetery. She starts talking to her father's headstone apologizing for everything: how she dragged her feet that fateful morning, how she should have said something when she saw the SUV coming, how she should have looked up sooner, and finally, that it wasn't her, that she wasn't the one that was hit. It was such an emotional and moving moment and Lacey finally confronted all of the things that she had been avoiding for a year. She finally admits that she was angry at him. She was angry at her father for leaving and not caring enough to stay.

When she leaves the cemetery, Sam is standing there, ready to support her and Lacey finally forgives him, realizing that just because people's parents haven't died doesn't mean that she should shut them out of her life.

The only other thing about the book that I didn't like was that, at the end, Logan ends up in the hospital after drinking and hitting a telephone pole with a car. He ends up being ok but suddenly, all the problems the family was seeming to have disappeared. Lacey's mother started to take an interest in her family again, Logan went to rehab, Tanner found a friend, the younger sister of one of the kids in Lacey's group, and started talking again. I don't mind things fixing themselves, because eventually things usually do fix themselves. It's never easy and it's never quick but it happens. I just think Harmel did it a little too quickly. Everything was wrapped up into a neat little bow and everyone was happy again. Not that it wouldn't happen, I just think that it would take more time than that.

Overall, I was impressed with the book. I love YA lit anyway and Harmel really presents us a tragic yet wonderful story. I was a little unsure of this book because often books that deal with grief don't execute well. However, I really feel like Harmel managed to show you how differently everyone reacts to things and not just to death.

Lacey’s world is shattered when her dad dies in a car accident with Lacey and her 2 brothers in the car. Nothing is the same and Lacey feels she is an outsider because of this. The family goes to grief counseling, but it doesn’t help. Finding a group of kids at school who have lost parents also is the beginning of Lacey learning to forgive herself and also learn more about herself. A good read!

Another of this author’s young adult fiction that was worth the read. It recalled for me many emotions I felt even as an adult with profound loss. I appreciated that the approaches to grief were varied and not codified. I appreciated that a sense of faith prevailed. And honestly, I enjoyed the sweet love story as well.

I love this author! Although this book is unlike any of her more recent books I’ve read, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It is a young adult book about a young girl whose father dies in a car accident. The story is full of teenage angst and love and coming of age. It’s a light (although the story line is heavy) read that I zipped through in one day.

It could have been a difficult read. The sadness it evoked in myself was counter-balanced by the lightness the writer chose to give the protagonist’s internal dialogue, for which I’m grateful. I was 15, like Lacey, when I lost my own beloved, admired and always remembered father.
