After the Rush is Backstory's discussion series about much-hyped major releases, in which attendees are invited to assemble a while after the dust has settled and "get real about what we think". As they put it themselves: "Was the buzz deserved? Did the plot soar – or totally deflate? Whether you devoured it in a day or needed a breather halfway through, this is your space to gush, gripe, and geek out with readers who just get it."

This After the Rush is dedicated to Caro Burke's Yesteryear, which has dazzled readers with its extraordinary premise: a "tradwife" social media influencer wakes up one day in the 19th century, where she must learn how to live without any of the trappings of modern society.
