LitPick Review
Alicia Betancourt was a normal, pretty, popular teenager. Her peers, teachers and parents adored her and she lived an untroubled life. All this was brought to a halt with one fatal car wreck. Alicia Afterimage is a collection of memoirs about Alicia. These memoirs come from her friends and family, the people who knew her best. These treasured memories are wound so perfectly together that they evoke emotion from readers with ease.
Opinion:
Alicia Afterimage is an emotional read. These memories of a loved one changed my own opinion on how to live my life. This was a relatively easy read; though the writing was not always perfect, the content was profound. Lulu Delacre also shares an intimate perspective considering that Alicia was her daughter and she integrates her own feelings. This book is an impressive must-read because of its thought-provoking themes. I would recommend this to anyone who is a mature reader, boys and girls alike.
