Almost, Always (College Trilogy #3)

College Trilogy #3

Juno Ilagan never believed in loud, dramatic love stories. As a Creative Writing major, she found more comfort in the quiet ache of unspoken feelings, in the tragic beauty of "what ifs" and "almosts." She preferred observing from the sidelines, collecting fragments of people's stories-everyone's, except her own.

Then there's Yankee Jixer "Yaji" De Roca-her best friend since freshman orientation, now a Political Science student with a smile that could charm professors and a heart that seems to belong to everyone but her. Where Juno is reserved and guarded, Yaji is magnetic and open, the type to lead rallies by day and host debate nights by evening. Yet, somehow, he always ends up beside her. Always, but not really.

They share late-night calls, unfinished conversations, and a thousand moments that never cross the line. For three years, they've been orbiting each other in a constant dance of almosts-almost more than friends, almost something real, almost always.

But in their final year of college, things begin to shift. With graduation looming, dreams pulling them in different directions, and new people entering their lives, Juno is forced to confront the truth she's long buried beneath poems and metaphors: she's in love with Yaji. And maybe-just maybe-he's been trying to tell her something, too.

What happens when the always in your life starts to feel like just an almost?
