ABOUT THE BOOK

Julia Merina always thought her life would be simple - go to college, meet Mr. Right, find her dream job, and live happily ever after. But just shy of 25, she learns the hard way that life rarely goes according to plan. 

Now, at age 28, Julia’s life revolves around her three year old son, Carson, her career at Oceanic Marketing, and her supportive family. After the turbulent years of her early 20s, Julia resolved to never trust a man again. That is until Drew Parkington, an old classmate, suddenly comes back into her life. 

Julia is forced to examine her life and decide if she can let go of the past and learn to trust again.

MY REVIEW

THE OTHER SIDE OF LATER by D.K. Hamilton is a heartfelt, emotional story about family, friendship, and the fear that can sometimes surround love. Julia learned the hard way that you should never let anyone take control of your life, and even though she is happy now with her gorgeous little boy, her supportive family, and her hard-earned career, she knows that she will never let down her guard when it comes to the opposite sex. But one rainy afternoon soon sets Julia on a new path, where she has the opportunity for companionship, love, and a real relationship with Drew. But Julia cannot trust her own instincts, and never wants to feel the abandonment and fear from her past, so she pushes him away. After all, loving someone makes you vulnerable, and vulnerability often leads to hurt. So Julia throws herself into her career and looking after her son even more, but Drew keeps on surfacing in her mind...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LATER by D.K. Hamilton is well-paced with well-developed characters that you will fall in love with - especially Drew and Luke! While at times I wanted to shout at Julia to wake up and stop messing up, as her past is revealed to us, I began to understand her need to keep her distance. Set against the backdrop of the beach, this story comes to life, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
THE OTHER SIDE OF LATER by D.K. Hamilton is an easy read and is perfect for an afternoon's entertainment.

Author Bio:

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page! I'm so excited my debut novel, The Other Side of Later, is now available on Amazon!

While I graduated from college with a degree in engineering, by the time I was in my late 20s, I discovered my real passion is writing. I wrote The Other Side of Later over the course of a couple years late at night, on weekends, and during any minute I could spare.

I've been a Jersey Shore resident my entire life, and I wouldn't dream of living anywhere else! In my spare time, I love going to the beach, listening to country music, and running along the shore. For more information:
