Synopsis

As Rose loses her mind, so do you.

Three best friends.
Two sisters.
One childhood bestie.
The unbreakable chains of friendship.

Rose has always been there for her best friends. Her sisters who have shared nearly every chapter of their lives with her. But now, Rose is in the middle of a mental health crisis, and the world around her is beginning to unravel.

She can't tell what's real and what's not.

Recurring nightmares bleed into her waking life. Time slips through her fingers. Memories become unreliable, and the people she loves most begin to feel like strangers.

As Rose struggles to hold on to reality, one question becomes impossible to answer:

What if the story she's telling isn't the story that's happening?

Told entirely through Rose's perspective, The Daisy Chain Reaction pulls you inside the mind of an unreliable narrator and asks you to question every memory, every relationship, and every moment alongside her.

Because when Rose loses her grip on reality, you lose yours too.

And when you think you know the truth...

The story continues in The Daisy Chain Collapse.

What Rose couldn't see, everyone else witnessed.

Told from the perspectives of those closest to her, The Daisy Chain Collapse reveals the other side of the story and answers the questions The Daisy Chain Reaction leaves behind.

And sometimes, loving someone through their darkest moments means learning how to survive the darkness with them.
