How to End a Love Story

Helen Zhang has spent thirteen years trying to outrun the accident that killed her younger sister Michelle, an accident that tied her forever to Grant Shepard, the person she has avoided ever since. Now a bestselling young-adult author, Helen wins a coveted spot in the writers' room adapting her novels for television, only to find Grant working there too. Forced into proximity, the two of them have to face the shared grief and guilt that shaped both their lives. Kuang traces their careful, fraught path from avoidance to understanding to something like love, treating forgiveness as the hardest and most necessary work either of them can do.
