What if someone you lost suddenly came back?
Seven years after dying in a bicycle accident, Amber walks through her front door as if nothing happened—on the very same bike she died on. She hasn’t aged a day, but the world around her has moved on. Her sister is older, her parents are no longer together, and the people who loved her have spent years learning to live without her.
As Amber’s impossible return sends shockwaves through everyone she knew, she must confront a haunting question: why was she given a second chance at life—and what is she meant to do with it?
After Life by Gayle Forman is a powerful, emotional story about love, loss, and the lasting impact one life can have.
