Narrative Toward Books After the Fall
When the world ends, what’s left to care about?Taylor Stone is no hero. She has three simple rules for life after the plague: Keep moving. Keep to yourself. Don’t get involved. The plague took a particular joy in killing the women of the world, making it that much harder for the few who survived. The only thing that matters since she escaped from a small farm outside of Pittsburgh is the truth waiting at the end of her journey home. The rest of the world, or what’s left of it, can go straight to Hell as far as she’s concerned.
When a group of survivors offers her food and shelter, she is more than happy to spend a few days, take what she needs, and get out, like she always does. But in a place called Burninghead Farm, despite all her rules and plans, Taylor finds a group of people who have more to offer than the basics of survival. Most of all, there is Kate, a woman who makes Taylor realize love is still alive and makes her dream of a future she thought was no longer possible. If only Taylor can find the courage to fight for it.
It turns out that the end of the world isn’t about the end of the world at all, but about what happens after.

Not the typical lesbian romance, it's an incredibly well-written book with quite an original premise. Highly recommended.Definitely recommended.After The Fall is set in the not so distant future, when a plague eradicates the majority of the human race and the survivors are left to deal with the aftermath. Taylor is a young woman who has spent the last five months struggling to get back to her hometown and family and ends up staying the night at a farm filled with survivors. As you would expect, the one night extends as she finds herself growing attached to the others at the farm, especially Kate, Duncan and Buck.

Unlike many post apocalyptic settings rief with horrific gore, this was very mellow and seemed more realistic. It was however unrealistic with its touch on guns especially knowing how USA glorifies them. Romance was terrible slow and basically no erotic scene here. The story's touch on human relationship was sweet and I guess the whole book was a lot more about hope than anything else.
I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic stories and when I found this on the Bold Strokes Books new release list I went to buy it immediately. Taylor is an interesting character who's been through quite a bit and is desperate to make it back to her family in Illinois in the aftermath of a massive plague that has wiped out the majority of the population, especially the female population. Along the way she ends up on Burninghead Farm in Indiana and meets a group of people who help her to find hope and
2011 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention (5* from at least 1 judge)
I could not put this book down once I started reading it! After the Fall is one of the few lesbian-centered books in my favorite genre: post-apocalyptic/dystopian fiction. It was a little distracting to go back and forth from Taylor's 1st-person narrative to Duncan's 3rd person: I think it was done for a good effect later in the book, but at first, it took me out of the story too many times. I would love to read more books in this series...I hope it will be a series, that is!
