Spectacular Things

Mia and Cricket Lowe have always been inseparable. From an early age, Mia takes on the role of caretaker, the responsible sister with a sharp mind and a steady heart. Cricket, by contrast, is all fire and motion—a natural athlete destined for soccer stardom. But chasing greatness comes at a cost, and the pressure of expectations begins to strain even their closest bond.

As the sisters come of age, the shadow of their mother’s hidden past begins to surface, forcing them to confront the choices that shaped their family—and the ones they must make for themselves. Can Mia risk falling in love without repeating old wounds? Will Cricket’s all-consuming ambition fracture the sisterhood they’ve always relied on? And when does loyalty stop being love and start becoming self-sacrifice?

Spectacular Things is a moving and keenly observed portrait of sisterhood, ambition, and the quiet power of resilience. It’s a story about the fierce love that binds us—and the freedom that can only come when we dare to break away.
