Gift Basket is a coming-of-age story that traces one girl’s fractured adolescence as she navigates girlhood, friendship, betrayal, survival, and the ache of growing up too fast. As she moves through awkward firsts, silent heartbreaks, and the blurry in-between of growing up, she learns that even the softest parts of you can bruise. Ghosts of who she was blur with who she’s becoming.
Told through intimate prose, confessional fragments, and lyrical snapshots of memory, Gift Basket captures the chaos of girlhood in all its heartbreak and hilarity.
She thought she was holding it all together. Until everything fell apart.
What do you do when your safest person becomes the one you can’t reach anymore?
Open the basket. See what’s left.
