Always, Almost Everything
In the final year of high school, everything is supposed to make sense; your friends, your future, your place in the world. But for one girl, everything begins to unravel just when it should all be coming together. After a sudden breakup and growing distance from her friend group, she's forced to navigate heartbreak, pressure, and the kind of loneliness that no one sees from the outside.

But healing comes slowly-in quiet moments, new friendships, and unexpected clarity. Told with honesty, heart, and the soft ache of growing up, this is a story about falling apart and finding your way back. It's about the people who leave, the ones who stay, and the version of yourself that you fight to become.Complete

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe...
