One of Zibby Mag's Most Anticipated Books Coming Out in 2024 | One of SheNet's Highly
Anticipated Books of 2024 A genre-bending story about love and loss hope and heartbreak and
the healing to be found in life’s little limbos those in-between spaces where you’re no longer
who you were and not yet the person you will be About her debut Out of Love Hazel Hayes
said “The journey from writing horror to writing love stories was a short one. There is
nothing more horrific than love.” In her new novel she sets out to prove it. This
genre-defying meta-modern novel is unlike anything you have ever read and yet at its core it
is a story we all deeply understand. A story of love and liminality and the ways in which
grief grips us all. Prepare to laugh and cry Hazel Hayes will break your heart but then
she’ll mend it for you. Following a breakup Kate and Finn decide to keep sharing their
house until the lease runs out in twelve weeks’ time alternating week by week so that they are
occupying the same space but never at the same time. Practically the plan makes sense but
coming back each Sunday to a home where Finn has been and gone feels far too much like living
with a ghost. Kate lost her mother at a young age and now this fresh grief dredges unhealed
sorrows up to the surface and soon Kate finds herself adrift in her own subconscious trapped
in the liminal space between loving someone and letting go.
