Description
2000: This is the year Jenna is supposed to graduate college, become independent, and find true happiness—whatever that looks like. But she is a people pleaser, and when her stepfather’s health deteriorates, she leaves school to help take care of him. This also means taking care of everyone else: her emotionally fragile best friend, Liam, her twin sister, Julie, who was born second and takes her role as the youngest of the family quite seriously, and their mother, Barbara—who might actually be the baby. Jenna has always felt like the only grown-up around.
While she struggles to say goodbye to the only father figure she’s ever had, a family secret drops like a grenade into Jenna’s already complicated life. Amidst the fallout and at the worst possible time, she starts falling for a man who turns out to be the first person in her life who doesn’t want anything from her—only to be with her.
As grief and betrayal threaten to tear her family apart, Jenna must decide how to put her own needs first and allow good things into her life when they show up.
