Not for the Faint of Heart

By Jesse Maas

Book Overview

"Relative. Time is relative, and quite frankly, it's relatively a thief. Where has it all gone?"

Emma's life has dripped on like a leaky faucet since her mother's sudden passing seven years ago. The dripping water has nearly drowned her with one constant question: was it really her fault? Her brother thinks so, her dad does not... and Emma, well, she's not quite sure.

After graduating college, Emma searches for a fresh start in Myrtle Beach, SC. She builds a simple life that consists of peaceful walks on the beach, overpriced coffees, and working from home. When her lovable (but pushy) friend, Grace, unexpectedly moves in with her, she swaps these things for walking an old woman's dog, a "coincidental" meet cute, and unexpected truths uncovered from the night of her mother's death.

Not for the Faint of Heart offers more than a love story, it looks at the complexities of intergenerational friendships and simply, being a human. It's a compelling story with the perfect blend of teenage drama and hopeful adulthood.
