This was such a incredible read!

Autumn and Lexi both ended up stuck in an Airport bathroom after a terrible earthquake. Autumn knows who Lexi is because she is her biggest fan and Lexi doesn't know anything about Autumn...yet!? They both start asking questions (to get to know each other more personally) and gave to answer truthfully. They both have a somewhat understanding of what the other person might be going through and they give each other advices especially when it comes to grief. And to strive for a better future.

I don't think I have related to a book more than I did with this one! Mental health is a big topic throughout this book and I related to both Autumn and Lexi so much! (Minus the addy issues!) This was a really great new adult novel. It's short but gets the point across where you connect with the characters and their struggles. This book also shows that characters can have more than one flaw. It's okay to about problems and important to reach out.

I was honored to receive and ARC and give an honest review. Thank you Jasmine Dade!

4/5 stars! Courtney Rennie114

First off, thank you, Jasmine @jasmines.writing.corner for giving me the opportunity of reviewing this ARC and being a part of your street team.

This debut novel was the absolute cutest. The playful and flirty banter between Lexi and Autumn is unmatched! The chapter titles are powerful and perfectly named. Autumn and Lexi's love story was absolutely adorable, which Jasmine Dade still managed to cover the heavy topics of mental health, grief and difficult and toxic family relationships brilliantly and realistically.

There were so many quotes I loved but here are a few of my favorites:

"Life is way too fucking short to spend it focusing on the things that bring you pain."

"Music gives us something to relate to when talking to another person just isn't enough."

"Grief is not the same for everyone." Rachel Moses-Lloyd46

A lovely, heartfelt debut from Jasmine with characters I cared about and felt for. Also - don't we all wish we could get trapped in a bathroom with our celebrity crush? What a concept!

The pop culture references were so suited to my own s, and a section about a past friend to boyfriend also got me in the feels!

The complex family relationships and mental health issues were all written so well and sensitively, and I laughed at the pastor's reactions at the end. I also adored the epilogue.

Well done Jasmine - great job getting your words out into the world! L59

Thank you Jasmine for the ARC! I'm so excited for you to finally publish this <3

Aftershock is a cute and heartfelt debut with important mental health discussions and an absolutely sweet romance. I'll admit some of the pop culture references flew over my head but it didn't make the book any less beautiful to read! If you celebrity romances, mental health discussions and aren't huge on smut this is perfect for you! Yesenia casiano-Jones7 4
