The After: A Seven Ways to Sin Story

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay… I went into this one thinking I had an idea of what I was getting into.

I DID NOT. 😂

This book is DARK, unsettling, weirdly thought-provoking, and the kind of story that makes you sit there afterward like, “Okay… but what if they’re right?” 👀

The whole idea of The Before versus The After completely sucked me in. You have this promise of peace, enlightenment, truth, and everything people supposedly want… but then you start peeling back the layers and realizing that maybe “perfection” comes with a price.

And OH BOY, does it get uncomfortable.

I loved how this book played with the idea of who gets to decide what is “good,” what makes someone “worthy,” and how easily people can justify horrible things when they convince themselves they’re doing it for the greater good.

There were moments where I was genuinely questioning EVERYTHING. Who do I trust? What is actually true? Is The After really what they say it is? And maybe the biggest question of all…

Would I be willing to do what it takes? 👀

Yeah. No. 😂

I also really appreciated that this wasn’t just a story I could fly through and forget about five minutes later. My brain was WORKING while I was reading this one, and even after I finished, I kept thinking about the ideas behind it.

It’s dark, twisted, thought-provoking, and definitely not afraid to make you uncomfortable.

Basically, I came for a book and left with an existential crisis. 😂

5 stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And if you like books that make you question the world they’ve created AND your own thoughts about it… definitely put this one on your list. 👀
