Becca, on the other hand, has lived there her entire life. What McVoy (Being Friends with Boys) gets so powerfully right in this novel is the way that love can descend like a fog, impairing one’s judgment and obscuring the truth. AFTER THE KISS by Terra Elan McVoy RELEASE DATE: Camille is new to Atlanta, Ga. It’s a dark, devastating, and realistic portrait of a girl in over her head in more ways than one. Nikki gets a rude awakening when the police close in, and Dee turns on her, leaving her alone and facing painful decisions. Nikki’s unstable home life (her mother is an abusive drug addict) drove her to drop out of school to work at a hair salon, move in with single mother Bird (Nikki’s only real friend), and bury herself in an intensely sexual and unhealthy relationship with Dee. Readers are immediately plunged into the world of trouble that Nikki, 18, and her 20-year-old boyfriend, Dee, are in as they fabricate an alibi following Dee’s murder of a local deputy. Like McVoy’s previous books, a romance is central to this hard-hitting story, but the author’s fans may be surprised by just how toxic that relationship is.
