Heart-wrenching, lyrical, and achingly intimate, Collapse Theory is a novel about addiction, grief, faith, and the quiet ways trauma teaches us to confuse survival with living. It is a story about first love, the unbearable cost of trying to save someone who cannot save themselves, and the long, uncertain journey of learning that healing is not the same as forgetting.
Because sometimes the greatest tragedy isn't losing the person you love.
It's surviving them.
