Rip, Lol - Paperback

"RIP, LOL is a searingly honest examination of grief, and all the ways it detonates our plans. Complete with a cast of twenty-something Brooklynites you want to be your besties, a peek into Gen Z's Bushwick, and some particularly fire bodega sandwiches - Khaya Fraites holds a magnifying glass up to our most human edges and gives us lasting hope that we might find our missing pieces." - Haley Jakobson Author of "Old Enough"

Willow Davis has one semester left before she walks across that NYU stage and achieves her dream of becoming a student at Columbia medical school. However, before her final semester even starts, a death in the family leaves Willow spiraling. Feeling the need to rebel by drinking, smoking, and out of character spontaneity, RIP, Lol follows Willow on her struggles with dissociation and depression. Will she put on a brave face and be the perfect student and perfect daughter she's always been? Or, will she isolate herself from her close friends, loving family, and her future plans?
