Overview

At Northbridge Pacific University, first-year Mara Santos just wants a normal start to college: a dorm that feels like home, a sorority where she and her friends Ivy, Zo, and Ellie can belong, and a few good stories that don't end in disaster. Then a secret cable car party in San Francisco goes wrong. First-year student Lena Calder falls, someone's phone is still recording, and by the next morning a ten-second video has turned a tragedy into campus gossip and content. Official emails call it an accident. Anonymous accounts and group chats want someone to blame. Caught between her sorority, the fraternity that hosted the night, activists like Kai from Students for Safer Systems, and Cal, the reporter covering it all, Mara is suddenly at the center of a story she never wanted to be in. Everyone has a different version of what happened-and of who she is. When the university's response feels too careful and too late, Mara and a small group of students start ""Before You Hit Record,"" a project asking people to think about what they're filming, why they're sharing it, and who might get hurt. As workshops, zines, and late-night conversations spread across campus, Mara has to decide how much of her own guilt and grief she's willing to put on the line. After the Line is a contemporary YA novel about Greek life, friendship, and the fallout after one night changes everything. It explores what it means to be a bystander, how quickly a person can be reduced to a clip, and what it might take for a campus to write a different story next time.
