A Girl on the Shore

A pair of emotionally adrift twentysomethings discover that shared emptiness can feel like intimacy. After a breakup leaves her wading through the shallows of bed-hopping, she recruits the guy she once dismissed to float beside her—no promises, just a quiet pact against drowning. It’s the rare romance that feels honest, which is the same reason it’s doomed before it starts.
