Moral Injuries by Christie Watson; 2024. Hardcover.

Ruthlessly ambitious Olivia, anxious perfectionist Laura, and free-spirited risk-taker Anjali couldn’t be more different. Yet their friendship has kept them inseparable for the past twenty-five years. As wild all-nighters and exam pressure gave way to the struggles and joys of new motherhood and new jobs, their unbreakable bond helped them support each other through it all.

Long ago they promised nothing would come between them. They would do anything for one another—including burying that night they have never spoken of: a university party fueled by drugs, sex, and secrets that forced them to make a deadly choice. But is there a limit to what we would do for those we love? When an eerily similar tragedy strikes the women’s teenage children, everything the friends have built threatens to crumble around them, forcing them to decide how far they can stretch their friendship before it snaps.
