The Most.

Jessica Anthony · Thriller · 2024

The Most (2024) by Jessica Anthony is a deeply moving look at marriage, set in Newark, Delaware. On an oddly warm November day, Kathleen Beckett makes an unexpected decision to stay in her apartment complex's run-down pool and won’t come out, worrying her husband, Virgil. Told through both their perspectives, the story unravels their lives, touching on love, ambition, and the pressures of 1950s society in Delaware. It ultimately asks: how much of our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves about our choices?
