The poignant and critically acclaimed novel of two estranged families brought together to celebrate an unexpected marriage, for fans of Anne Tyler and Claire Lombardo.

When Morgan and Benji send out their wedding invitations, they know it will come as a shock. Twelve years have passed since the loss of sixteen-year-old Alice Weil, Benji's sister and Morgan's best friend, and nothing is quite the same. But as the young couple brings their two families together, they hope that old wounds can be mended.

However, as the guests descend upon the tranquil coastal town for the nuptials, with new lovers and deep-seated agendas in tow, it soon becomes clear that not everyone is ready to move on. Can the wedding's fragile peace survive the sunny weekend? Or will the two families learn that the darkest secrets always come to light in the end?

The World After Alice by Lauren Aliza Green explores these themes with depth and sensitivity, making it a captivating read.
