Reaching is a collection of three novelettes that explores early adulthood through the experiences of three young women navigating the messy realities of finding themselves and forging meaningful, vulnerable connections with others in a world that often feels complicated and isolating. Nora is stuck in a thick fog of anxious and depressive thoughts as she tries to make sense of her new college life. Maya contemplates leaving her hometown, close friends, and family, unsure of whether she can trust herself to make such a big change simply based on a gut feeling. Sky visits her younger sister, May, for a weekend that will challenge her conception of their relationship and change her perception of both May and herself.
