Is thirty too late to reconsider? Natalie can't remember why her life is following Plan B. Dan's vision of the universe has never extended to understanding his wife. But their marriage has some precious ember at its core, doesn't it? Meanwhile, trader Mike is relieved to discover that it doesn't matter if there's a void where the weightiest substance of your character should be. Fearless mountaineer Brenda sweats and trembles in a crowded room. And James doesn't know how to unfollow his dreams. Thrown off course by a shocking diagnosis, five friends confront the realities of money, meaning, marriage, and mortality, in this vivaciously intelligent novel about how to live and die.
