(3) YA Lily, Noah, and Simon are a trio of friends with a roiling mix of hidden complications in their lives: abuse, divorce, a father with cancer. As the three take turns narrating, it becomes clear that their friendship also conceals a fundamental lack of connection among them. Brezenoff explores the characters' interactions honestly and head-on, without neat intersections or happy endings.
