What is Us in the Before and After about?

Elk and Mab have been best friends for as long as they can remember, sharing secrets, dreams and a deep, unspoken bond. But when a sudden death changes everything, their long, hot summer becomes a journey through grief, guilt and first love. As memories of what happened before collide with the reality of what comes after, they must confront painful truths about their friendship, the choices they made and the possibility that some connections can survive even the greatest loss.
