My life is perfectly fine.
Alex has pretended this for years—despite an emotionally absent father, a best friend drifting away, and a floundering dog-training business.

But both their lives are upended when their estranged mother dies of a genetic condition that the sisters have a fifty-fifty chance of inheriting.
