Description
Biz's life is a delicate balance of normalcy and normal-ness. She has her friends, her mom, the twins, and her dad, who shouldn't be here but is. After his death when she was seven, Biz learned to keep her dark thoughts and feelings hidden, even from those closest to her. But when a series of events forces her to confront the truth about her past and her present, the tethers that hold her steady begin to unravel. As Biz navigates the complexities of grief, mental illness, and first love, she must confront the possibility that there may be more to life than simply floating on the surface. With its lyrical prose and tender understanding, this debut novel explores the hard and beautiful places loss can take us, and the ways in which those who hold us tightly can help us find our way again. With its beautiful and affecting portrayal of love, loss, and identity, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt the weight of their emotions.
