I understand that the story about Lizzie is meant to be a paranormal romance satire, poking fun at all the genre tropes and also written by a teenager. She also discovers that there is a ghost of a murdered girl living in her house and works to uncover and punish the killer. Lizzie is immediately infatuated with Yama. She meets Yama, another psychopomp who lives completely in the Afterworld and therefore hasn’t aged past seventeen years old for thousands of years. She becomes a psychopomp (soul guide), or a Grim Reaper. It’s a paranormal romance starring Lizzie, who learns to cross over to the Afterworld, where all the dead reside. The other story is the novel that Darcy wrote, actually titled Afterworlds in the book. She meets and starts a relationship with Imogen, another writer. There she has to learn to live on her own and on a budget, as well as navigate the world of YA publishing. One story is a realistic young adult novel about Darcy Patel, an eighteen-year-old writer who gets a two-book deal and moves to New York to focus on writing. Afterworlds is essentially two books in one.
