Holding Still for as Long as Possible

In this robust, elegantly plotted, and ultimately life-affirming novel, Zoe Whittall presents a dazzling portrait of the Millennial Generation the twenty-five-year olds who grew up on anti-anxiety meds, text-messaging each other truncated emotional reactions, unsure of what's public and what's private.

Holding Still for as Long as Possibleexplores an unusual love triangle involving Billy, a former teen idol, now an anxiety-ridden agoraphobic; Josh, a shy transgenderedparamedic who travels the city patching up damaged bodies; and Amy, a fashionable filmmaker coping with her first broken heart.
