The Funeral of a Good Girl | Aldrich Infantado | Self-Help

Description

For thirty-three years, Teresa has been the perfect eldest daughter. She manages the schedules, absorbs the stress, and wears the family’s guilt like a second skin.

Then, the morning after her sister’s wedding fitting, she walks out of her own life.

With no plan and no goodbyes, she boards a ferry to a quiet Cebu beach town, where she meets Inez, a blunt, fiercely independent former nurse who’s dying on her own terms and has no patience left for martyrs.

Under Inez’s ruthless guidance, Teresa begins to face the thing she has spent her whole life avoiding. To truly live, the good girl has to die. She has to stop being everyone’s solution. She has to take up space she was never taught to want.

The Funeral of a Good Girl is an unflinching, darkly funny story about family, obligation, and the courage it takes to become the villain in someone else’s story so you can finally be the hero of your own.
