A Zibby Summer Reads pick: Wedding Season! Lauren Aliza Green, THE WORLD AFTER ALICE
Description
Zibby speaks with debut author Lauren Aliza Green about THE WORLD AFTER ALICE, a gorgeous and gripping story of two estranged families brought together to celebrate an unexpected wedding. Twelve years after the stunning loss of sixteen-year-old Alice, her brother Benji and her best friend Morgan are getting married—unearthing secrets and reopening deep, painful wounds. Lauren discusses the novel’s exploration of grief, loss, and the lasting impact of suicide, particularly on teenagers. She shares her inspiration for the story, rooted in the rising mental health crisis, and then describes her writing process (including some unconventional habits), her love of Russian literature, and her next project—a modern-day adaptation of King Lear.
