But the truth is, it isn't. And Madi isn't sure it ever will be. ~~ Noah Allard is hunting for a sign there is more to life than his disappointing job as a hospital doctor, his gold digger fiancée and his parents' over bearing need for him to succeed.

Madi and Noah have a past that has marked them both forever. With a solid friendship already cemented in their history 18 years ago, is it really that easy to rebuild lost friendships? How do they over come the baggage they have both gathered since their separation as kids? Will distance be the death of them?Complete
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.
