1 part Ongoing I didn't mean to write a handbook.
I meant to survive dating.
After one too many breakups that end without drama-but leave permanent emotional dents-Blair Hart starts doing what she does best: overthinking with structure. She begins writing rules. Rules about men. Rules about dating. Rules about how to love without disappearing inside someone else.
Don't double-text.
Don't ask where this is going.
Be easy. Be agreeable. Be smaller.
Each rule comes from a relationship that almost worked and a version of herself that learned to bend just enough to stay. Funny, sharp, and painfully self-aware, The True Love Handbook reads like a guide-until it doesn't.
Because while Blair is busy cataloguing modern dating disasters, something else is happening in the background: the slow realization that the rules weren't protecting her at all.
This isn't a love story.
It's a pattern-recognition story.
If you've ever edited yourself to be loved, laughed through confusion, or stayed longer than you should've-this one's for you.
