She Had Enough: A Novel

Six friends. One dinner. A secret that won’t stay buried.

When Mallory Jordan reconnects with her old college friends for a rare night out, she doesn’t expect much more than small talk and shared memories. But Caitlin, the quiet one of the group, is clearly upset—distracted, anxious, on edge. A brief conversation in the bathroom hints at trouble, but before Mallory can ask more, the night ends.

Days later, the world shatters—literally. A catastrophic earthquake devastates San Francisco, and in the chaos, Caitlin’s distress becomes a distant memory.

Six months later, as the city begins to heal, Mallory learns Caitlin died just days after their dinner. No one else seems to have noticed or questioned it. And the more Mallory digs, the more Caitlin’s life—and death—stop making sense. The clues lead back to that night, to the friends Mallory thought she knew, and to secrets they’ve all been keeping.

But the closer Mallory gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: some secrets were meant to stay buried.
