A Poignant Debut Novel from Lauren Aliza Green — Longlisted for the 2025 Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award
For fans of Anne Tyler and Claire Lombardo, this deeply moving, sharply written family drama explores grief, secrets, and resilience with wit and heart
Morgan and Benji are getting married.
Which comes as a shock to their families . . .

Twelve years ago, sixteen-year-old Alice Weil, Benji’s sister and Morgan’s best friend, died. No one is quite the same. As Benji and Morgan bring the two families together for the first time since the funeral, they know old wounds have yet to heal.

But as the guests descend on a tranquil New England town, it’s clear that these estranged families won’t come quietly.
Add in old flames, unexpected new loves, and the sharp secrets some still carry about Alice, and Morgan and Benji wonder not will the marriage last, but will they survive the wedding?

Recensioni della critica

A lovely debut novel that glimmers with fine writing and notes of human insight. There's a quiet beauty to Lauren Aliza Green's work, and I am now a fan (Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward)
Deeply moving . . . reflects on the different ways grief affects people, the complex nature of families, and how lies and deceit and tear fragile relationships apart
A 'sizzling summer read'
A 'Literary Summer Romance' Pick
This dramatic tragi-comedy, full of delicious bourgeois lifestyle detail takes us right into the head of each character
A page-turner of a family drama . . . at turns brutally honest, funny, and deeply empathic (Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake)
A bouquet of a book: thoughtful, heartfelt, funny, tender, tough, and gorgeously written. It is a novel about how love won't save you, except in the ways that it does, about the pain of family life, and also its transcendent qualities. Green is a tremendous new writer (Elizabeth McCracken, author of The Hero of This Book)
A captivating romance
Gripping . . . a pool side page-turner
Intricately structured and elegantly written, The World After Alice is a family drama that pivots between the sweeping and the intimate in seamless, wildly entertaining prose (Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X)
