Liz Rosenthal feels like she’s drowning—without water. Once a bright and ambitious high school student, her life has unraveled into isolation in her mother’s basement, where every breath feels heavier than the last. Reflecting on the relationships that shaped her, Liz recalls her absent father, her distant mother, and Lucy—the best friend who once understood her completely but now feels out of reach. Then there’s Mary, whose authenticity once inspired Liz but now forces her to confront truths she isn’t ready to face. And Brian—the one person who refuses to let her go, even when she begs him to.

As Liz struggles to make sense of the wreckage, she discovers a truth about herself that changes everything. "Lessons In Dry Drowning" is a poignant exploration of mental health, resilience, and the invisible battles we fight below the surface. Perfect for readers seeking emotional depth, this novel challenges stereotypes about OCD and anxiety while offering hope to those navigating these invisible battles.
