Laurie A novella

Laurie is a millennial dog-parent who is depressed, and attempts to find meaning from the people closest to her. She recently broke up with her co-worker Sean, and looks for reasons to either defend or dismiss him. She also compares and contrasts herself to her best friend, Meghan, who seems to have her life together on paper by getting married and having a child. Her parents, both simultaneously lifelong mentors and fellow, flawed human beings, struggle to be patient with Laurie as she tries to make sense of her life, which she soon realizes, may never, ever make sense (and that she has to be okay with that).
