Description

People like Feeney Simms dont commit suicide. Beautiful, charismatic, mother of two, wife to a handsome, successful husband, beloved by her friendsthis is not the typical picture of a tortured soul. But one summer night, Feeney drives to the beach and swallows a handful of pills. No note, no explanation, nothing. Like that, shes gone.

Faced with this loss, Ali, Max, and Liddy, Feeneys closest friends, are left reeling, grappling with the devastating cocktail of grief, guilt, and anger thats left in the wake of a suicide. In a desperate attempt to avoid further loss, the three women make the unorthodox (and very Feeney-like) decision to hold their own funerals while they are still aliveand the experience changes each of them in ways they couldnt have imagined.
