'After the Leaves Fall' is a coming of age story told by Julia who finds herself dealing with tragedy, loss and teenage pregnancy. Julia never really appeals to me (there is something about that name). I found her self-centered, immature and frustrating throughout the book and wanted to give her a good shake! (

This book is good towards the end. The beginning and very end of the book do alot of jumping around. It get confusing. Alot of flash back explainations that don't need to be there. (
