Every friendship acts as some sort of social contagion—passing both the highs and lows of human behavior.

Sherene abuses drugs, friends, lovers and herself. Grace is overwhelmingly shy, and trapped by her own set of habits. During fourteen months of their early-mid twenties, we voyeuristically explore their relationship with each other and those they need the most. 

We're granted complete transparency, through diary entries, emails and Google searches. The result is a torrid, honest look at the intense desire for human connection, the pressures of building an identity and what's left when we're finally alone.

I Have to Tell You is Victoria Hetherington's first novel, and the product of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council. She currently lives in Toronto.
