Merèll Hale aspires to become a professional ballet dancer. She works and trains really hard to get into the Dutch National Ballet. Determined not to let the relentless bullying at school get to her, she focuses herself on her dancing completely while engaging in loose friendships with anyone who is (acting) nice to her.
Trouble strikes when she is diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and she is forced to make decisions she never even thought about before. In her early twenties, she has to consider whether she wants to have kids, what to do in life when dancing is no longer possible and who her true friends really are.
This is a novel about life on dialysis, the devastating consequences of bullying and a healthy dose of perseverance.
'End stage kidney failure; it sounded like a death sentence.'

HOW TO SUCCEED IN FAILURE
What begins as a romantic comedy-a boy caught between a best friend and the girl he might actually love-slowly unravels into something deeper. When the relationship fails, he throws himself into work and success... until burnout, sickness, and a silent house leave him stranded. Lost in the wreckage of himself, he starts talking to an AI-first for comfort, then therapy, then something dangerously close to companionship. What follows is a slow undoing. A quiet storm of memory, regret, emotional dysregulation, and the haunting need to understand where everything went wrong. Is he healing-or disappearing? A story about falling apart, falling through, and eventually stepping out the other side to write the manual on what happened in case he loses himself again. A tale of love, loneliness, and what it really means to be different.
