Everyone saw Derek’s heartbreak. No one noticed hers. With Derek and Addison separated after Addison’s affair with Mark Sloan, nineteen-year-old Joanna Shepherd is caught in the middle of a family that’s quietly unraveling. At every Shepherd family dinner, the conversation circles back to betrayal, heartbreak, and divorce—never noticing the girl silently pushing food around her plate. As Joanna’s grades collapse, assignments go missing, and the weight of months of lies grows unbearable, she’s forced to decide how long she can keep pretending she’s okay.
