'[a] passionate, addictive 14+ love story about fighting for the future while living meaningfully in the present' Guardian

'Highly relevant and addictive reading' Armadillo Magazine

For rival climate crisis activists, Ren Barbosa (5 million followers) and Pearl Newman (GreenGirlPearl) the feeling's mutual - deep, undeniable loathing. Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous do-gooder perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular group, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that's complicated further by Renée's prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl's idol. Plus Renée being only one arrest away from serious trouble.

But when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Increasingly cut off from the outside world, tensions rise as activism and personal lives collide. . .

Praise for Afterlove:
