Summary

The day that Anderson brought a gun to school was the day Aly's life changed forever. Her fellow classmates were murdered right before her eyes as her former best friend embarked on the deadliest high school massacre since Columbine.

Now, nearly two years later, Aly sets foot in the halls that nearly cost her her life for the first time since the shooting, ready to face her demons. Unanswered questions linger, anxiety abounds, and flashbacks are frequent as Aly struggles to understand how Anderson could've mercilessly gunned down her friends and classmates and how she's not only going to forgive him, but herself as well, for the role she might have played in influencing his actions.

Was she to blame? Did she have blood on her hands? Could she have done something more? Could anyone have done anything more?

Aly sets out to find the elusive answers to just that as she also attempts to rebuild the life that was shattered by gunfire that otherwise quiet Friday morning nearly two years prior.

Worth it pushing through

Sorry so so sorry it’s taken so long to post all of these reviews. I wanted to listen to all th books before. This was by far the hardest of all because of the sensitive and difficult subject but so worth it pushing through. It’s an emotional and complex story but one that will change you foreverZ
Thank you

A Captivating Journey

Jamila Mikhail's "After Anderson," especially in its audiobook edition narrated by the talented Angela Nurse, is nothing short of a literary revelation. This gripping story, paired with Nurse’s captivating narration, creates an immersive experience that transports listeners into Mikhail's richly woven narrative world.

From the very first moment, Angela Nurse’s voice draws you in. Her tonal variations and emotive delivery bring life to each character, allowing their personalities and emotions to resonate deeply. Nurse effortlessly captures the nuances of the story, enhancing the plot’s intensity and the emotional weight of Mikhail’s prose. It feels as if the characters are right beside you, sharing their journeys and tribulations in a way that is profoundly engaging.

Mikhail's writing shines through Nurse’s interpretation, offering listeners a unique blend of compelling storytelling and vivid imagery. The themes of resilience, identity, and the complex dynamics of relationships are articulated with both grace and grit. Mikhail's ability to weave intricate narratives is amplified by the auditory format, making it possible to feel the rhythm and flow of the story in a new light.

One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is the pacing. Nurse knows exactly when to slow down for dramatic effect and when to ramp up the tension, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats. Each chapter feels like a mini cliffhanger, compelling you to press "play" just one more time.

Overall, the audiobook edition of "After Anderson" is a triumph, making it arguably the best book experience yet. Whether you're a long-time fan of Mikhail’s work or a newcomer looking for a gripping story to dive into, this audiobook promises to be a captivating journey from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a beautifully narrated tale that resonates long after the final chapter.
