Rikki, a teenager being raised by her grandmother in Queens, has a secret. She can't remember her mother. Whenever Rikki asks her grandmother about her mother's death, the older woman refuses to answer. Desperate to learn the truth, Rikki finds a hidden album with family photographs. Can the boy in the picture with her mother be a long lost uncle? Determined to unlock the mystery, she embarks on a journey to meet Harry, a writer who is struggling with his own issues of identity.
From the award-winning writer of The Intersect comes After the Fall, a fast-paced, engaging listen, with twists and turns that will surely surprise. After the Fall: an emotional roller-coaster of a mystery packed with personality and charm. Once you start the journey you won't be able to turn back.

It is very hard to get into, slow to start. Connfusing, the story seems to jump around, you never know who is telling the story next.

Sometimes I did forget that this book was set in 2005, until some really relevant references made me remember oh yeah, this was a person of belief in 2005 and not really in the current day.
The ending, when we figure out was happened to Rikki’s mom was just heartbreaking, and it made me tear up a little. It’s just sad, no other way to put it. At least, the ending was hopeful for most of the characters.
The only negative thing with the story is that I really didn’t like the little bit of music at the end of the chapter. It kind of took the attention away from what had been going on with the story.
Overall, I would rate this 5 stars.

OVERALL — 2½ stars
This was a difficult book to get into and it seemed to take a long time for things to happen. There was a lot of talking without much happening. At one point after a lot of talking, then one of them said "Come, sit. Let's talk", I rolled my eyes. (I know that is a cliche, but this book itself uses that phrase, among other cliches). Maybe the problem is that I'm a guy and I like more action than jibber-jabber. And the names Rikki and Rita seemed too similar, especially since so much of the first half of the book has them together in scenes.
PERFORMANCE — 2½ stars
I recommend listening to this with the speed set to 1.25 at least so that it will sound like a normal pace. I suspect Kebba Button was reading it so painstakingly slow so as not to make a mistake (which is not allowed in Audible recordings). Somehow the emotions of the characters didn't come through. And when, for instance, "Elle sighed", there was no sigh in the words Elle said. Basically, the book sounded "read" versus "performed".
STORY — 2½ stars
I suppose the most difficult thing for a writer to do after finishing a book is to reread, revise and cut words... because, over the course of time writing it, the words likely had become like a lover to the author. Unless a writer is willing to "kill their darlings" – so to speak – their published book won't become a darling to readers. Ironically, the most important aspect of the story (what I believe is the true darling of Brad Graber's work) does not come until the final half of the book, but because the earlier darlings were not laid to rest many readers will not make the effort of getting to that point and understand why the book was written at all.
Then again, maybe (as I suggested earlier) the problem was with me—that I'm a guy—because this book (especially the first half) borders on being chick-lit. So take my review of AFTER THE FALL with a grain of salt.

a difficult darling to embrace
