Before she agreed to tutor Tucker price, college junior Scarlett was introvert, struggling with her social anxiety and determined to not end up living in a trailer park like her mother and her younger sister. A mathematics major, she goes to her classes, to her job in the tutoring lab, and then hides in the apartment she shares with her friend, Caroline.
After junior Tucker Price, Southern University’s star soccer player enters the equation, her carefully plotted life is thrown off its axis. Tucker’s failing his required College Algebra class. With his eligibility is at risk, the university chancellor dangles an expensive piece of computer software for the math department if Scarlett agrees to privately tutor him.Tucker’s bad boy, womanizer reputation makes Scarlett wary of any contact, let alone spending several hours a week in close proximity.
But from her first encounter, she realizes Tucker isn't the person everyone else sees. He carries a mountain of secrets which she suspects hold the reason to his self-destructive behavior. But the deeper she delves into the cause of his pain, the deeper she gets sucked into his chaos. Will Scarlett find the happiness she’s looking for, or will she be caught in Tucker’s aftermath? ~~ synopsis from Goodreads
My thoughts about After Math ~~
I love that the title of this book, After Math, has so many different meanings in the context of this story. The obvious one of course is the math class that Scarlett tutors for Tucker. But then there is the aftermaths of the lives that they lived before meeting each other, that they are trying to live through everyday. And then of course, there's what comes after the math class.
Scarlett and Tucker are an unlikely pair who get thrown together when she is asked to tutor the star soccer star. But their strained relationship allows them each to be the person they should be and not the person they are perceived to be by others in their lives. This is a great story about realizing that you can just be who you are and that is good enough.
I have read several of Denise's books and have enjoyed them all. She is such a versatile writer who has created stories in a variety of genres. I will always be reading her latest!
