Available December 2, 2025
Lucy and her three best friends share glamorous post-grad lives in a decaying house in the heart of Georgetown. They call themselves the Sweeties. They have exciting jobs, dramatic love lives, and most importantly, each other.
But when Addie, the group’s leader, discovers that her old boyfriend Josh has gone missing, the Sweetie’s worlds are turned upside down. In the days leading to his disappearance, Josh, a star investigative journalist, was behaving erratically—and Lucy is determined to find out why. As the four friends search for Josh, detectives begin to suspect the Sweeties know more than they’re letting on.
A thrilling account of the lies and delusions that lurk beneath cloistered groups of female friends, Watch Us Fall examines what we tell ourselves when we can’t face the truth.

“A stunning work of suspense that’s impossible to put down…
A twisty missing person mystery, a heart-breaking love story,
an insightful exploration of the nature of obsession and trauma.
I loved this novel.”
—Angie Kim, NYT Bestselling Author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
