After the End by Clare Mackintosh

I was very excited to read a book by Clare Macintosh as I love her psychological thrillers, however this is a total break from her usual genre and in my opinion probably the best book she has ever written. The huge amount of emotion which flows through the book, must be in no small part due to the author’s own experiences.

Pip and Max are the perfect couple, and have a wonderful, unshakable bond where they finish each other’s sentences. Their happiness is complete when they have a little boy, and Dylan is the light of their lives.

Unfortunately Dylan gets sick and for the first time Pip and Max disagree. The only resolutions to go to court.

The book then diverges. Pip’s chapters show what happens if she won, and Max’s what happens if he did. The final chapter belongs to the Doctor.

A ‘must read’, that will leave you with a book hangover.
