Things We Say Before Morning
He made a film about their breakup. She came to see how it ended.
Years after their collapse, filmmaker Richard James and architect Victoria Bennett reunite when he screens the film he's made about them. Over three charged days in New York, they move through clubs, rooftops, and hotel rooms—caught between memory and desire, between the lives they built and the one that still lingers.
A novel about intimacy, obsession, and the thin line between life and art, Things We Say Before Morning is both devastating and a story of two people who know each other too completely to pretend, and too deeply to truly let go.
For readers of Sally Rooney, André Aciman, and Donna Tartt, a book about what happens when love becomes art, and why some endings refuse to stay written.
