If Anything

Across one quiet year in the American suburbs, two adult sisters confront the unraveling myths of marriage, memory, and the woman who raised them.

Kelly Sullivan is finally done pretending. After years of living under the expectations of others, she's come out as gay-and now faces the hardest part of becoming herself: leaving behind a husband and two sons. Her sister Kim, sharp-tongued and chronically overcomposed, is also newly divorced and ready to expose suburbia's false cheer and buried truths. Together, they navigate the slow death of their mother, the aftershocks of divorce, and the aching space between performance and authenticity.

Told with humor, heartbreak, and a clear-eyed tenderness, If Anything is a novel about reinvention, familial duty, and the quiet courage it takes to rewrite your story. In a world of manicured lawns, wine-fueled dinner parties, and generational ghosts, the Sullivan sisters search for something-if anything-that will bring them closer to the truth.
