Book Synopsis:

The First After is a perceptive, heart-twisting debut set in sun-soaked Lisbon. It follows Anaa, a young woman caught between the new life she is building and her old life when her first love visits from Canada and sets both worlds off-kilter. If you love yearning, cheeky banter, painful honesty, and stories that make you feel cracked open in the best way, this one is for you.
