I read quite a lot of books and therefore I kind of forget what I read sometimes, sometimes immediately after finshing the book. But everything came back to me straight away when I picked After Eden up again. You know what this means? I must have really been enjoying After Eden to remember everything.

Yes, there was instalove. I am definitely not a fan of instalove. Grrr, don’t get me thinking about the book before this one which I read, in which the instalove was just plain ridiculous. I don’t absolutely hate it in cases like that of After Eden though. I thought that Helen douglas handled it quite well, that the love between Eden and Ryan really was written in the stars (see what I did there?).

As for the actual story, I thought that was really interesting. I’ve never really found any YA alien books before that I particularly enjoyed, so this is a first. And no, I still haven’t read The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey. And a YA book set in England! YAY! We need more of them. England is a great place.

I liked all the characters and thought I knew them all until the ending. That wasn’t nice, Helen Douglas. Well, to be fair, the final ending was but the main climax wasn’t.

I would love to continue on with this series!
