Jesse Ball’s novel follows Lucia Stanton, a defiant teenager navigating the complexities of grief and social isolation after the death of her father. Through her candid, often unsettling journals, the narrative explores the intersection of personal rebellion and the search for belonging in a world that feels increasingly indifferent to her plight.
