The Vice

Eight years after everything fell apart, Harper Jones is still trying to convince herself she's fine. Therapy is just a box to check. The drinks, the lies, the wrong men—they're all ways to keep from remembering the right one.

The man she can't let go of is the same one she's spent eight years pushing away—an on-again, off-again ache that never really fades. When their silence breaks, so does the illusion that she's moving on.

As Harper begins to confront the damage she's done—to him, to herself, to the future she once believed in—she starts to believe there might be a way forward, even as the cracks beneath her begin to widen. Because sometimes, rock bottom isn't where you've been—it's where you're going.
