Almost Something is a tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, and everything that falls in between.
Quiet and observant Olive has always found comfort behind the pages of a book - and behind James, the effortlessly charming boy who made her feel seen. What started as shared snacks and inside jokes slowly became something unspoken, almost tangible - almost something.
Through school days, camping trips, late-night laughter, and distant stares across crowded rooms, Olive and James walk the line between what is and what could've been. But timing isn't always kind. And sometimes, the people we feel the most for are the ones we never truly get to call ours.
Almost Something is a story about moments that almost mattered, the love we're too scared to name, and the quiet hope that maybe - just maybe - it still meant everything.
