“One of those rare feel-good novels that also crackles with wisdom, This Close to Okay introduces readers to two characters who will come to feel like cherished friends. Tallie is a recently divorced therapist who discovers Emmett on the edge of a bridge. She convinces him to stick around for another day, and the two return to her home to trade stories. Over the course of a single weekend, their many conversations on love, loss, grief, and joy coalesce into a primer on human goodness.”

Thank you, Lauren Puckett & Elle! x
