Sometimes friendship can be its own love story. Victor and Zoey are getting old, well older-er, and it’s beginning to be a real problem. Best friends for a decade in New York City, they have supported each other through bad dates and office drama, late nights and hungover brunches. As their wild twenties come to a close, though, the dynamic between the two is shifting. Coming off a tough breakup, Victor dedicates his energy towards building a career writing celebrity profiles for one of the last glossy magazines left, while Zoey navigates the terrain at her nascent fashion startup, questioning her future with her fiance. The friends and acquaintances in their orbit-authors, influencers, ‘It girls’-are also searching for a sense of belonging amidst anxieties and self-doubt. But when tragedy befalls Victor, his once unbreakable bond with Zoey really starts to crack. They find themselves ignoring their ongoing text thread and pushing away what might be the most meaningful relationship of their lives. An immersive, hilarious, and heartbreaking story, this is a debut novel about best friendship, finding yourself, and realizing growing up has as much to do with the person you were as it does with the person you are desperately trying to become.
