![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s hard to believe that this book was written by a man, because Iris’ voice is so convincing. Watkins slips effortlessly into Iris’ voice and gives us a gorgeously told story about both the extreme cruelty and the endurance of human nature. WHAT COMES AFTER is a powerful and heartwrenching YA contemporary read. But saving them may mean getting hurt herself, and Iris is not sure who is willing to save her. As Iris gets closer to the farm animals, she is determined to save them from Aunt Sue’s cruelty. Iris immediately does not get along with Aunt Sue or Book Allen, on account of their cruelty towards both her and their farm animals. Iris Wight’s idyllic life in Maine ends when her veterinarian father dies and she is sent to live with the aunt and cousin she’s hardly met, on their farm in North Carolina. ![]()
