A note for parents
Afterworlds is a dual-narrative young adult novel that weaves together a story about publishing ambitions with a paranormal fantasy. While it addresses mature themes like death and terrorism, the treatment is thoughtful rather than graphic. The book features LGBTQ+ romance as a central element and offers positive messages about resilience, creativity, and self-discovery, making it well-suited for older teens who enjoy literary fiction.
