Although I didn’t entirely like the direction it took, the added suspense and mystery surrounding Diana’s accident kept me invested until the end. I finished this book feeling somewhat shocked and unsettled however I applaud the author for bravely analysing twisted family relationships and for not being afraid to push boundaries to the extreme. I believed that my theory was too farfetched despite the multiple hints throughout the book and especially given how twisted and wrong such an outcome would be but unfortunately my guesses were right.
My main concern with this book at the beginning was the possible predictable twist and ending. However, the other minor characters such as the mother-in-law and best friend dipped in and out of each chapter with ease and encouraged me to speculate on their motive which I always enjoy. I couldn’t connect with Diana as I felt that she was too untrustworthy and sometimes too dull for a main character. Thrillers often feature either too many characters or so few that the plot is watered down however After All I’ve Done stars the right number of characters and a perfect balance between character development and plot. The book was always filled with tension and suspicion which led to a very cryptic mystery, forcing the reader to anticipate the characters’ intentions from the little background that is disclosed on the main character, Diana. Although the memory loss plot has been incorporated many times before in Thrillers, there were extra layers of mystery and doubt right from the first chapter which carried through to the end. “Īfter All I’ve Done starts with a lot of promise. Who was with her that night? What really happened? As her life unravels thread by thread and the dreams become too real to ignore, Diana will have to face the unthinkable–and do the unforgivable. Worse, it seems everyone else could be involved, too. Yet the closer they become, the more Diana begins to wonder what really happened that night–and how Cole might be connected.
She can’t turn to her former best friend Val, who’s been sleeping with Diana’s husband Jonathan for months, but she might find some comfort in newcomer Cole Pelham. Dreams that feel so real, she’s left questioning: maybe she didn’t just slide off the road into a ditch. As if that’s not enough, she’s started having recurring nightmares about the night of the accident.
“ She’s lost her best friend, her husband–and possibly, her mind.įive months ago, an accident left Diana Sparrow badly injured and missing a few months of her memory.
