A Thousand Tiny Promises

Audrey, Reid, Emma and Sadie once imagined their futures together, putting their hopes into a bucket list before leaving high school behind. More than a decade later, Sadie's death brings that list back with a final request: the surviving friends should complete it. Audrey and Reid have been estranged since an earlier attempt, making their reunion painful before they even begin. When Audrey's own relationship breaks apart, Reid becomes a source of support she did not expect. This contemporary romance follows adults revisiting promises made when they were younger, with grief opening a difficult path toward repairing a friendship and recognizing feelings that have survived beneath years of hurt and misunderstanding.
