They weren't bad girls.
They weren't reckless.
They were eighteen-and paying attention to the wrong things.

The Losers Club is a quiet, unsettling coming-of-age novel about five high school seniors navigating social pressure, identity, silence, and consequence in the moments just before adulthood. Told through shifting perspectives-students, mentors, and observers-the story examines how small decisions, overlooked warning signs, and the desire to belong can collide in ways no one intends and no one escapes unchanged.

This is not a story about scandal or spectacle. It is a story about systems that fail quietly, about adults who look away, and about young people asked to carry weight they don't yet know how to name. As friendships strain and loyalties fracture, each character must confront what attention costs-and what innocence cannot survive.

Grounded, restrained, and morally serious, The Losers Club explores faith, responsibility, and the consequences of silence without preaching or sensationalism. Inspired by patterns witnessed in real life, it is a novel about the moments before tragedy-when everything still looks ordinary, and no one believes anything is wrong.
