Almost Us
This is my first novel. A story born from countless imagined scenarios-those "what if" moments in the head that never happened but feel so real. It's about friendship, laughter, jealousy, and the feelings we keep hidden. It's about the times we're too quiet, the words left unsaid, and the moments that could have changed everything... if only. What if we were more than friends? What if I said what I felt? What if things turned out differently? This is not the story of "us." This is the story of what we almost were.
