Description
By: Aisha Muharrar
"[Loved One] is special...full of wildly astute, delectably thorny questions about love and loss and possession." —Maggie Shipstead, New York Times bestselling author of Great Circle
“Loved One shimmers with wit even as it explores deep loss.” —Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans
When her first boyfriend turned close friend, Gabe, dies suddenly at twenty-nine, thirty-year-old Julia launches into an intercontinental quest to recover his lost possessions. Traveling from Los Angeles to London and through her own past, her search seems to offer more questions than answers about Gabe and their shared history. It also sets Julia on a collision course with the last woman he loved, the guarded, self-possessed Elizabeth. Both Julia and Elizabeth, it turns out, have something to hide—and must confront what their mutual ex meant to them, and what they now mean to each other.
Written with crackling wit and deep compassion, Loved One introduces Aisha Muharrar as a novelist deeply attuned to the mysteries of love, memory, and intimacy. What happens when we admit that the deepest feelings never die? How do we reconcile the various—and sometimes contradictory—truths about our loved ones? An engrossing, transformative coming-of-age story with a complex and powerful love at its heart, Loved One is poised to become an instant classic.
