Description
Thursday's life is marked by choices that define her. At four years old, she selects her own name; at six, she falls deeply in love with her best friend James. As they grow into adulthood, their connection becomes increasingly complicated. Thursday's mother finds herself out of love with her husband, while James's father develops feelings for Thursday. Thursday follows James to different cities, rebuilding her life and holding onto the hope that he will see what he is missing. Her actions are driven by a deep affection, even if unrequited. This beautifully realized tale explores how love can shape a life, even in the face of uncertainty. Through Thursday's story, we witness a poignant exploration of the complexities of human emotion. A heart-wrenching and thought-provoking novel about the power of love to both bind and bruise us.
