Never Been Better by Leanne Toshiko Simpson
Dee Foster is determined to prove she's moving forward after a difficult year. But when she's invited to the destination wedding of her two closest friends—friends she met during a stay in a psychiatric hospital—she must confront old feelings, complicated loyalties, and the challenge of finding her place in a world that expects tidy endings. Funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest, this debut novel explores friendship, love, mental health, and the messy process of learning to accept yourself.
