Description
Claire feels stuck in a life that others treat like a joke—at school the “mean girls” and a cruel boy named Ryder keep pushing her down, and at home it seems like no one is truly listening. Then, during an ordinary conversation at the kitchen table, her dad’s sudden medical emergency turns everything upside down, forcing Claire to confront fear, grief, and the limits of pretending. As her family and friends rally in their own imperfect ways, Claire must decide what it means to be heard, to hope, and to keep going when laughter feels impossible. Blending sharp, teen-ready humor with emotional realism, this novel explores resilience, family bonds, and the ways people use comedy to survive what they can’t control.
