After ten years apart tragedy pulls Lily Turncott back into the orbit of rock star Billy Collins as she seeks the comfort of her old friends Mary, Tim, and Tess. Emotions run high as Lil and Billy have to confront the wounds of their past and decide if they want to salvage what they can of their once strong bond.

Emma Cooper has given up on love. It has been 20-years since Danny Stevens passed. While her friends have moved on and started families of their own, Emma has avoided falling in love again. When an unlikely friend returns to her life, she feels the thawing, but can she let him in, or will the threat of a broken heart be too costly?

Emma Cooper has spent her life playing it safe-good grades, perfect boyfriend, and just enough rebellion to be relatable. But one impulsive summer night shatters her carefully curated world when a chaotic house party ends in betrayal, a breakup, and a rescue by the last person she expected: Danny Stevens-the boy with the haunted eyes and sugar-sweet coffee order. Drawn together by a shared ache they don't yet understand, Emma and Danny tumble into an intense connection that's both comforting and dangerous. As Emma navigates the fallout of old love and the pull of something new, she's forced to confront what it really costs to fall-for someone broken, for someone real, for someone who might just be everything she's been running from.

Lily Turncott didn't expect to meet Billy Collins the night everything fell apart. He's all smoke and music, the kind of beautiful that sneaks up on you-and he's leaving town by morning. But a late-night milkshake, a few too many blues songs, and an all-night conversation changes everything. As seasons shift and Billy's band begins to rise, the distance between them grows-yet they keep circling back to each other. In stolen weekends, quiet confessions, and the weight of what they never say aloud, Lily and Billy find themselves caught in something that's almost love-but never quite easy.

Lily Turncott's life changed forever when she met budding musician Billy Collins. His skyrocketing music career contradicted the quiet relationship Lily desperately wanted. Somehow they ended up in between; not lovers, but not quite friends; not unhappy, but not completely happy; not together, but never far. Now they attempt to navigate this new life of something in between.

I appreciated the fact that you not only focused on what it is like to have a mental illness, but also how mental illness can have a ripple effect on friends and family; and how the journey isn't always one of smooth sailing." - @CreativeBibliophile "Wow, this was written so exceptionally well. All of my senses were completely engaged and I love how realistic your writing is." - GhostsInsideOfMyBed "Never have [I] felt so connected to a character, honestly. His struggles feel so real, it's astonishing." - @BeZorro * This story is a spin-off to All The Things We Lost but can be read as a standalone. Cover by @dysanic
