About the book
After their friend Addison dies unexpectedly, a tight-knit group gathers to mourn and remember, only to discover how little they truly knew about each other—and themselves. Through raw conversations and painful silences, they confront the weight of unspoken truths and the complex ways we hold onto those we've lost. A deeply human exploration of how grief both isolates and connects us.
