Almost A Love Story

"Didn't we almost have it all?"

***

Raileigh thought her senior year in high school would be just like any other-filled with friends, schoolwork, and dreams of living life to the fullest. She's an academic achiever, always charming and bubbly, the kind of girl who lights up a room. But her world turns upside down when she meets Rafael, the enigmatic and distant brother of her best friend.

Rafael is everything Raileigh isn't- introverted, intensely focused, with no time for frivolous distractions like romance. His life revolves around his studies and his unwavering dreams. Meeting Raileigh was never part of his plan, but fate had other ideas.

As Raileigh's innocent curiosity blossoms into something deeper, she finds herself grappling with feelings she's never experienced before. Rafael, too, feels the unsettling stirrings of emotions he thought he had no room for.

Caught between their individual ambitions and the undeniable connection growing between them, Raileigh and Rafael must decide: Will they risk everything for a love that feels almost impossible? Or will the gap between their worlds prove too wide to bridge?

A story of first love, heartache, and the bittersweet beauty of almost.
