Like Family

Erin O. White's Like Family is one of those quiet lightning-bolt novels that slips into your hands and then, once it’s got your attention, breaks your heart with all its truth, love, and honesty. It follows two women, longtime friends whose lives have tangled and layered over decades as they navigate the swaying borders between friendship, desire, partnership, and the families we build along the way. White writes with such tenderness and precision that the smallest moments are unforgettable. This is a story about choosing each other, even when the choices are complicated. It’s about loyalty, longing, and the way love can take shapes we didn’t expect but still recognize as home. A beautiful, contemplative novel that lingers.
