They say first love is unforgettable.
They don't say it can also leave you shattered, questioning, haunted.
I wanted honesty. I wanted him.

This isn't a love story about forever.
It's a story about almosts.
About the people who come into your life just long enough to change you.
About the versions of yourself you give away before you know how to protect them.
When Amara meets Darcy, she believes in safety. In promises. In the idea that loving someone honestly is enough.

Halfway to You is a raw, coming-of-age reflective story about first love, miscommunication, and the slow understanding that being loved isn't the same as being chosen and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop waiting.
