Four friends. One unforgettable journey through love, pain & redemption.
Jared, Willem, Malcolm, and Jude move to New York chasing dreams—what they find is so much more. Over decades, their bond deepens through bad choices, healing scars, secrets too heavy to name, and an unshakable devotion. At its core is Jude—the brilliant, damaged soul they can't save but can't live without.
Prepare to laugh, cry (yes, cry), and feel like you're living inside a masterclass of friendship. Yanaigihara's prose hits like poetry, her characters stay with you long after the final page.
