The Way It’s Supposed to Be
A Novel by Sophie Mansur-Gupte
Some legacies are made of love. Others are built on silence.
Lani Rai-Mendez has spent her life being the daughter of a love story. But when her mother disappears and her father begins to forget, the truth comes undone. Grief pulls her into the past. Family secrets push her toward the future. And somewhere in the in-between, a memory simulation of her mother waits to be opened.
Set in a near-future New York where memories can be archived and grief feels algorithmically sharp, The Way It’s Supposed to Be follows Lani as she unearths the real story behind her parents’ marriage—and the betrayal that nearly broke them. But the deeper she digs, the more she must ask herself: What do we do with the parts of our parents we wish we never knew?
As Lani falls for a man who sees her beyond her losses, reconnects with a brother still scarred by the past, and confronts the woman who stole everything from her family, she must decide if healing means remembering—or finally letting go.
Heart-wrenching, sharp, and quietly redemptive, this standalone conclusion to the It Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This series is a story about memory, legacy, and the daughter who chooses to break the cycle.
