Loved One

"When someone dies suddenly – young, healthy, in pursuit of their ambitions – it’s hard to come to terms with the loss. Not only is that person gone, but so is the part of you who existed in relation to them. We meet Julia in the throes of this reckoning as she mourns her first love, Gabe, who became a close friend after their romance. At Gabe’s mother’s request, Julia is sent to retrieve some items from the home where he lived with Elizabeth, his most recent ex-girlfriend. The novel follows these three women as they attempt to move forward under the weight of their shared grief."
