Each member of the Davies family grieves in their own way. Jack's mother, Anya, withdraws into herself, unable to come to terms with her loss. His father, Erik, tries to keep things together for his family, but he is haunted by guilt and anger. Jack's sister, Sophie, lashes out at the world, unable to believe that her brother is gone.

As the Davies family struggles to cope with their grief, they begin to drift apart. Anya becomes increasingly withdrawn, spending her days alone in her room. Erik throws himself into his work, trying to avoid the pain of his loss. Sophie pushes everyone away, unable to deal with the emotions that are consuming her.

But even as the Davies family struggles, they find moments of connection and hope. They share memories of Jack, and they support each other through their darkest days. And slowly, they begin to heal.

Everything Fine is a poignant and beautifully written novel that explores the complexities of grief, loss, and identity. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced the pain of losing a loved one.
