What did our Readalongers think?

“I had the best experience reading and discussing And Then There Was Us by Kern Carter with a lovely group of Canadian Bookstagrammers. This book was perfect for discussion and debate. We strongly debated the ending 😅. We also had so many people who could relate to aspects of the story, myself included.”

“A coming of age story that deals with a topic that typically isn’t talked about. Carter does it with so much poise and grace.”

“A heartfelt and quick read about the complexities associated with grief and trauma, this one really packs a punch!”
