Description
Suzy Swanson sees the world through astonishing facts and patterns, from the tiny rhythms of insects to the staggering scale of jellyfish stings—yet she’s still haunted by a secret she can’t undo. When her friend Franny Jackson’s life is abruptly shortened, Suzy is forced to confront the one moment that changed everything, even as her mind retreats into imagination and numbers to survive the grief. Blending lyrical wonder with emotional realism, the story explores guilt, self-forgiveness, and the fragile ways love can persist after loss. With Ali Benjamin’s distinctive, compassionate style, this novel turns science-like curiosity into a lifeline—revealing how hope can grow even in the darkest aftermath.
