By Sarah Parrish—Dover, Massachusetts

In The Aftermath by Stacy Padula, the readers learn about highschool drama and see Jason and Cathy’s relationship crumble as Jason involves himself with a new girl. After Andy’s accident and Jason’s secrets behind it, Jason becomes unhinged and takes a break with Cathy. After getting in a fight at a highschool football game to protect another girl whom he is drawn to, Cathy spreads rumors to destroy Jason’s reputation and Jessie’s. 

Jason is on a mission to change his life, stay away from drugs and start volunteering to feel more fulfilled. He feels as if he has everything he needs in life, such as popularity, a girl, and good grades and still lacks fulfillment. After his harsh night, he shares this with his brother and is set to turn his life around. He starts to realize how others see him and why everyone is afraid of him. We wonder if he will be able to stay sober, redeem his reputation, and focus on religion.
