What if saying hello to an old friend meant
saying good-bye to life as you know it?
It's been six years since Pen Calloway watched her best
friends walk out of her life. And through the birth of her
daughter, the death of her father, and the vicissitudes of
single motherhood, she has never stopped missing them.
Pen, Cat, and Will met on their first day of college and
formed what seemed like a magical and lifelong bond, only to
see their friendship break apart amid the realities of
adulthood. When, after years of silence, Cat—the
bewitching,
charismatic center of their group—e-mails Pen and Will
with
an urgent request to meet at their college reunion, they
can't refuse. But instead of a happy reconciliation, what
awaits is a collision of past and present that sends Pen and
Will, with Pen's five-year-old daughter and Cat's hostile
husband in tow, on a journey across the world.
With her trademark wit, vivid prose, and gift for creating
authentic, captivating characters, Marisa de los Santos
returns with an emotionally resonant novel about our deepest
human connections. As Pen and Will struggle to uncover the
truth about Cat, they find more than they bargained for:
startling truths about who they were before and who they are
now. They must confront the reasons their friendship fell
apart and discover how—and if—it can ever fall back
together.
