After Hello

By: Lisa Mangum

Narrated by: Lisa Mangum

What if the first day of your relationship was the only day you had?

Seventeen-year-old Sara is a seeker. She's always on the lookout for the perfect moment to capture with her ever-present point-and-shoot camera, especially on her first trip to New York City.

Sam is a finder. He has a knack for finding what other people can't - a first-edition book or the last two tickets to a sold-out Broadway show. In New York, there is always something interesting to find.

When Sam and Sara's paths cross, neither one of them is prepared for what they will find out about each other - and about themselves when they form an unlikely partnership in search of an elusive work of art. They have one day to find the impossible. Fate brought their talents together, but what happens when time runs out? Will love be able to overcome fate? This new novel from award-winning author Lisa Mangum explores what happens after hello.

Critic reviews

"A tense and believable romance" ( Publishers Weekly)

“Lisa Mangum’s sweet and bubbly romance, After Hello, is beyond adorable! An enchanting book.” (Ally Condie, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

"The subtlety and liveliness [Mangum] brings to her characters, as well as the lovely themes about relationships make for a sensitive young-adult novel." ( ForeWord Reviews)

Sweet, engaging story

This book was probably written more for a teen audience, but I quite enjoyed the storyline.

Cute and sweet day in New York

Any additional comments?

This book was surprisingly thoughtful and sweet. A fun adventure that takes place all in one day in NY. The author made you love the main characters and was so good with descriptions that she made you feel like you were there. Definitely a clean, sweet, fun book for a teenager to enjoy.

The only real negative for me was that the author narrated the book and she was absolutely dreadful to listen to. Stick to writing, not acting. Her voice really took away from some of the sweetness that could have been conveyed through the narrators voice.

Lisa is one of my favorites

I love the story. It’s my favorite story and I’m gonna read it again. I really enjoyed Sam and Sara. I just wish they didn’t only have 1 day.

Wow

This was such an amazing book! The imagery was amazing, the story plot was fantastic, and even though it wasn't fiction, it still held my attention. Awesome!

Great story!

I like it when the authors read their own books. Lisa is so talented.
