This Is Me Trying

No one has ever done imperfection so perfectly. 

Jessica Chase is divorced, depleted, and one missed alarm away from a full-scale unraveling. 

Relying on her family and her best friend just to get through the day, she's surviving on caffeine, her sense of humor, and radically lowered expectations. As she searches for her new normal, friendships strain, family dynamics shift, and in the quiet hours after bedtime, she wonders who she is when she's not holding everything—and everyone—together. 

Josh Taylor is a newly single father haunted by the fear that love alone won't be enough. 

Every night he lies awake wondering how to keep his son safe, happy, and whole when he himself feels anything but secure. 

Two people frayed by responsibility and bonded by brutal honesty—their connection isn't about rescue or reinvention. It's about showing up messy, choosing tenderness, and discovering that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let yourself be seen.
