“Gripping and imaginative” – Lauren

James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“Mind-blowing!” – Brianna Bourne,

author of You & Me at the End of the World

Where do you go when you’re not quite gone?

After suffering an epileptic seizure, Kyle finds himself in a

world that looks like ours but where nothing feels the same. This

is the Stillness: an eerie, liminal alternative

reality populated by those who are caught between life and death.

Here, he meets his real-world crush, Farah, who is also unconscious

back home. But as they get to know each other in the Stillness,

they must face the possibility of forgetting each other in the

real world. The way back to life is fraught with danger, and time,

for both of them, is running out…

A. Connors was inspired to write this novel based on his own

experience with epilepsy

A slow-burn romance at the centre of the story that is perfect

for anyone who loves BookTok tropes #forcedproximity and #friendstolovers

The Stillness is a wildly imaginative world that will appeal

to fans of Erik J Brown, Patrick Ness and Netflix’s

Stranger Things

‘Wow! Find Me After is an absorbing and thought-provoking

novel that explores some big themes… Connors’ smart prose

and tense plot make for a gripping and fast-paced read, but I also

loved the tender love story at its core.’ – Jan Dunning,

author of Mirror Me

‘I loved this book. Imaginative and hauntingly real.’ –
