The Guardian

"This is an excerpt from our book Make It Make Sense, and also the most vulnerable thing I have ever written. Today would have been my little brother Jimmy’s 24th birthday, but I lost him just after his 19th. If you connect with this in any way, the grief chapter of our book is for you. I really hope you feel seen in it. But mostly I just want you all to know and love Jimmy like I do. Read with care. Luce x"
