Don't You Miss It

Three best friends from college, burning brightly on the cusp of adulthood, face a loss that tests and transforms them, in this bold, cathartic debut “Extraordinary. Lyrical, inventive, perfectly observed and utterly original, Julia Pike’s novel about love and loss among four college friends is bound to be a classic in its genre.”—Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace “Oh, to be young and in love with your friends, life rolling out in front of you like a golden ball. For me, Don't You Miss It was a massive hit of nostalgic dopamine…I couldn't put it down.” —Catherine Newman, author of Sandwich Hannah, Vera, June, and Peyton have spent four years of college tying their lives into one happy, inextricable knot. They share secrets, fears, inside jokes, and elaborate traditions. They paper over one another’s flaws and challenge one another’s assumptions. Whatever comes their way after college, they know they'll face it together. But one fizzy spring night just before graduation, an unthinkable accident closes the door to that future.
