TO THE BEST FRIEND WHO EVER WAS: THIS IS YOUR GUIDE TO LIVING WITHOUT ME

STEP ONE: Always make time for yourself.

Chrissie Thomas has always done what's expected of her. A struggling single mom with a mountain of guilt and very little time for herself, she's spent her life putting others first -- until her lifelong best friend, Scarlett Sanderson, insists it's finally time for the cross-country road trip they've dreamed about since childhood.

STEP TWO: Never turn down a chance for adventure.

From the moment they set out, Chrissie and Scarlett are determined to chase joy: quirky roadside attractions, hot springs, and maybe even an unexpected flirtation or two. But as miles turn to memories, Chrissie begins to sense that this trip isn't just about escape -- it's about a goodbye Scarlett hasn't yet found the courage to admit is coming.

STEP THREE: Live like every day is your last.

Scarlett has always been the fearless one -- the spark in every moment, the laughter in every heartbreak. But hidden beneath her boundless joy is a truth she's kept from the person who knows her best. This trip isn't just a reunion -- it's a farewell. And as they draw closer to their journey's end, Scarlett will have to do the hardest thing she's ever done: teach the best friend who's always been by her side how to live -- to thrive -- without her.

FINAL STEP: When it's finally time to say goodbye…do it with your whole heart, and leave behind a love big enough to last a lifetime.
