Set against long Texas summers filled with pinky promises and the bittersweet magic of growing up, The Things We Swore We’d Never Do, a new story from Jillian Dodd, is about losing your person—and learning how to live a little louder in the silence they leave behind.

It started with a list. In fourth grade, Addie Grant and her fearless best friend McKenna made a pact: no sneaking out, no kissing boys, no lying to their parents. But when McKenna dies in high school, Addie is left with a grief too big and a life that suddenly feels too quiet—unsure of who she is without the friendship that once defined her. Then McKenna’s older brother, Callum—the former golden boy, now quietly unraveling—pushes Addie to break every rule they swore to keep. What begins as a challenge becomes a journey through first love, quiet rebellion, and discovering who you are when growing up means letting go of what you thought would last forever.
