What can I say? I liked it a lot. If you've enjoyed any of Ann's other work, you'll like it a lot, too.

Emotional

There is a lot of moments in this book that made me laugh.... and a few that made me tear up. This is a wonder ful sequel that was hard to put down

Good follow up to Jericho. Less tense and sexy but an interesting story line.

Hear me out, this is my second read and I can say 200% sure, it's hilarious. From foreword to the very end. It got me cracking like an idiot the first time and the second wasn't very different. But not only that, the story is full of surprises and made me feel many different feelings, my heart went especially to Maddie/Syd and the their woes about Henry, I'm glad they got to grow as a couple and I got to witness it.

I love (most of) the folks of Jericho with all their quirky and oddness and I find it hard not to make a comment over every tiny little detail I've read, because I'm in love with everything. And I probably said this before, but Roma Jean takes the cake. I just love her character so much I want to protect her of all the bad stuff in the world.

The camaro bit was so good, my goodness, every time I see one on the roads of my neck of the woods my mind takes me back to Jericho.

4 stars. After the amazingness that was book one, I wasn’t expecting this to be anywhere near as good and it wasn’t but it was still a pretty great read. I loved being back in Jericho. This starts with a hurricane tearing through the town and everything that happens after. Also, Syd’s divorce drama was interesting but really it was all of the things going on with Henry and his dad that really gripped my heart. I got all emotional especially in the epilogue. Maddie and Syd are really tested here but their relationship is so solid and I loved how they got through everything together. I just adore their relationship. The other characters in town were also a big part in this which was fun as it’s such a unique cast of characters. This series is lovely and are such comfort reads.

Aftermath is book 2 in the Jericho series. I enjoy the ongoing story of Syd, Maddie, and their friends and family in Jericho. The addition of a foster child, Henry, adds a nice new dimension to the series. I also appreciate the fact that Maddie's mother plays a bigger role in book 2; I really like her. Michael and David are more prominent this time around as well. Altogether, Aftermath is a worthy follow-up to Jericho, but I miss the aspect of meeting someone new, and the awkwardness that ensues. Still, I look forward to reading the final book in the trilogy, Goldenrod.

A nice return to Jericho as the town tries to heal from the aftermath of a devastating tornado. I was into the first half of the book but was a little disappointed as I progressed and found out a lot of the "town comes together" tropes happened mostly off-page. I was just expecting more town wholesomeness than what was present.

In addition, had a small issue with the ending. It felt like it happened suddenly out of nowhere. In one way this could be a good thing, I could have easily read another 100 pages on the antics of our main characters, so when I flipped to the next page and realized I had reached the epilogue I was shocked.

Would definitely recommend this book if you enjoyed Jericho. The series is also easy to recommend if you are looking for a nice small-town slice of life with queer leads.
