People, Places & Permanence Issues

By Brooke Choppin

Allie never meant to become the kind of person whose life is measured by the people she couldn't keep.

After the sudden death of her best friend cracks her world open, Allie drifts through years of fragile friendships, complicated love, quiet unraveling, and searching for something that might finally make her feel steady.

From reckless teenage nights and first heartbreaks to the relationships that almost save her, her life becomes a series of intense attachments: the friend who always comes back but never stays, the man who changes her forever, the best friend who holds too tightly, and the one person she can never quite let go.

As Allie moves through loss, longing, and the weight of her own mind, she is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: you can't build a life around being chosen by others - you have to learn how to choose yourself.

Told with raw intimacy and emotional honesty, this is a story about grief, attachment, and the quiet, brutal work of learning how to live with yourself after everything falls apart.
