In this luminous debut novel about a young woman putting
her life back together after the death of her brother,
Meri Weiss explores hope after heartbreak, and the myriad
ways that those we love can make us whole again...
Growing up, Alexandra and her older brother Ashley were
never close. Her decision to move in to Ashley's Upper
West Side apartment to care for him during his final
months surprises herself as much as anyone, but it can't
erase the guilt Alex feels at the years they wasted. Now,
four years after his death, with a bout of depression and
a suicide attempt behind her, Alex feels fragile but no
longer broken. As for normal--only with her roommate and
best friend Jordy and their gay friend Jax can she feel
anything close to that. Then Alex's therapist, Sam,
bequeaths her a cryptic message that changes everything.
The note reads simply, "You're missing a piece of
yourself." At Sam's funeral, Alex meets Tucker--the
charming, cute son of one of New York's wealthiest
businessmen. As their romance deepens, Tucker tries to
draw Alex out of her safety zone. But is Tucker the key to
Sam's riddle, or is the real answer still waiting to be
found? At once humorous and heartbreaking, and peopled
with deftly rendered characters, Closer to Fine is an
exquisite first novel about love, loss, and self
discovery, written with uncommon verve and grace.
