After Eden was an interesting read. Eden is a typical teen who is trying to find her place in the world after the death of her parents. She has a small group of friends that don't seem all that close, and best friend Connor seems to want more from her than she is willing to give. Eden and Ryan meet by circumstance and are instantly attracted to one another, but Connor is determined to sulk, even though he's hasn't expressed any interest in Eden romantically, until Ryan arrives. This isn't a love triangle, as Eden has no interest in her best friend, but she's more than willing to play along as long as Ryan achieves his objective. Ryan isn't able to tell Eden anything due to something he refers to as Temporal Integrity. Honestly, it felt as though it was barely a brief explanation, only adding that a man known as The Cleaner will ensure that no trace is left of the mission.
The storyline had a Twilight feel to the flow and character development, which younger teen readers will enjoy. Mature young adult readers will be able to appreciate a fun, light read, as will teens who enjoy astronomy, but sadly the storyline lacks any real substance for late teens and adults. Purely for the young teen market, who'll enjoy Eden and Ryan's story.
