Sticks and Stones

"We Don't Talk Enough" trilogy spinoff of Lauren and Camila's daughters.

Blaire and Catalina finally get what they've wanted for seven years: to live under the same roof again. But reunion doesn't rewrite the childhoods they lived apart-different homes, different rules, different step-moms, different versions of the same family fallout.

Blaire moves through the Upper East Side like someone out of step with the world she's meant to inherit-except in classrooms, where the world finally aligns. At Brearley, she's a top student, brilliant in the way that comes from living half inside her own mind. Autistic, gentle, and quietly grieving the childhood she can't seem to articulate outside of her writing, she understands books better than people. She holds herself together with sweetness and silence-until she can't, and the breaks come sharp like broken sticks.

Catalina thrives where Blaire withdraws. Wild, magnetic, impossible to ignore, she rules Dalton with a confidence she doesn't fully feel. She smokes, drinks, tests limits, and reenacts the mistakes her parents once made, trying to understand whether any of it had been worth the damage. She loves fiercely, resents deeply, and fears rejection more than consequence. She is the stone that refuses to be skipped.

One sister wounds inward, the other outward. Both are still living in the aftershock of Lauren and Camila's choices. Now, under the same roof at last, they must learn whether the things that shaped them apart will destroy them together...or finally make them whole.
