Ditto

Whoa. I just have never heard these types of statements. But I see pushback on those ideas so I guess someone, somewhere is espousing them?

Yah, agree. Same for reading the review-- how is that helpful?

Bristol Vaudrin (she/her) @bristolvaudrin.bsky.social · 12d

"Bristol Vaudrin’s AFTERWARD is a raw and gut-wrenching novel that pulls readers into a world of emotional turmoil, relationships strained by tragedy, and the quiet, lingering pain of grief and identity." - Goodreads Reviewer (5 stars)
