Summary
Sixty-seven days clean, and Rue Bennett’s first real test is a graduation party she only agreed to because Lexi asked and nobody says no to Lexi.
She wasn’t expecting Maddy Perez.
She wasn’t expecting a lot of things — the way a drink spilled between them could turn into thirty minutes against a wall, or the way Maddy looks when she thinks nobody’s watching, or the specific feeling of standing next to someone who’s also in the middle of rebuilding something and not quite ready to name what they’re building.
This is a story about two girls who never really knew each other learning how to know themselves first. About recovery that isn’t linear and healing that doesn’t announce itself. About the slow, inconvenient, slightly terrifying thing that happens when someone sees you — actually sees you — right when you’re figuring out who you are.
It takes a while. It’s worth it.

Summary
Madeleine Perez has everything. The name, the money, the company waiting for her like an inheritance she never asked for and can’t refuse. What she doesn’t have is a choice — not about the company, and apparently not about who she’s supposed to marry to run it.
She wasn’t looking for anyone the night she walked into that club. She especially wasn’t looking for a tall stranger from East Highland who didn’t know her name and didn’t seem to care.
Rue Bennett is sober, broke, and between places in every sense of the word. When Maddy calls her a week later with the strangest proposal she’s ever heard, Rue says yes for one reason: she needs the money. That’s all. That’s the whole thing.
It’s a simple arrangement. Temporary. Professional, almost. Neither of them is going to make it complicated.
They’re both wrong about that.
All That It Costs is a slow burn about a fake engagement, a real inconvenience, and two women who are much better at knowing what they don’t want than admitting what they do.

Summary
Maddy Perez has gotten very good at fine. Eight months at Mel’s Diner, longer sleeves when she needs them, never stopping moving long enough for anyone to look too close. Nineteen days since Nate’s family relocated to New York and took him with them — not because she got out, but because he simply stopped having access to her. She is still waiting for the other shoe.
Then a tall woman in a worn navy jacket starts coming into the diner. Tips like she’s making a point. Never makes it a moment. Comes back anyway.
The thing is, Rue Bennett recognizes Maddy immediately. Maddy doesn’t recognize her at all — the last version of Rue she has stored is the one from high school, hollowed out and barely there. The woman who keeps sitting in the window booth is so different, so present, that she reads as a stranger.
Until she doesn’t.
This is a story about learning that presence without threat is a real thing that exists. That warmth doesn’t always have a hidden cost. And about two women who have to learn — slowly, imperfectly, on their own terms — how to say the real thing out loud. Like they mean it

Summary
Maddy Perez is stuck with Nate Jacobs.
Rue Bennett is stuck with addiction.
They’re barely friends, hell they barely even talk unless the whole group is together.
But sometimes the person who helps you escape your worst habits is the one fighting their own.
