A brand-new novel everyone will be talking about from the award-winning author of Things We Didn't See Coming and What the Family Needed.
If you could help someone in pain, would you?
Evan is a nurse, a suicide assistant. His job is legal...just. He's the one at the hospital who hands out the last drink to those who ask for it. Evan's friends don't know what he does during the day. His mother, Viv, doesn't know what he's up to at night. And his supervisor suspects there may be trouble ahead.
