Not After Everything
By: Michelle Levy
Publisher: Dial
Release Date: August 4, 2015
A gritty but hopeful love story about two struggling teens—
great for fans of The Spectacular Now, Willow, and Eleanor and Park
Tyler has a football scholarship to Stanford, a hot girlfriend, and a reliable army of friends to party with. Then his mom kills herself. And Tyler lets it all go. Now he needs to dodge what his dad is offering (verbal tirades and abuse) and earn what his dad isn’t (money). Tyler finds a job that crashes him into Jordyn, his former childhood friend turned angry-loner goth-girl. She brings Tyler an unexpected reprieve from the never-ending pity party his life has become. How could he not fall for her? But with his dad more brutally unpredictable than ever, Tyler knows he can’t risk bringing Jordyn too deeply into the chaos. So when violence rocks his world again, will it be Jordyn who shows him the way to a hopeful future? Or after everything, will Tyler have to find it in himself?

I have had this one on my TBR for a while now. I have been enjoying reading contemporary books from a male perspective lately.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a powerful story. Added it to my reading list. I hope you like the book! Check out my WoW!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my kind of book, I haven't read a book from a boys pov in a while so it would be different. Thanks for sharing!
