The Age of Almost

After a brutal breakup shatters her carefully planned life, Ava finds herself back in her childhood bedroom, surrounded by old trophies, fading posters, and the creeping fear that she peaked at twenty-five. She doesn't know what she wants-only that her job feels meaningless, her confidence is gone, and everything she thought she'd figured out has collapsed.

Then she meets them. A tight-knit group of friends navigating the same mess in different ways-some stuck, some pretending not to be, all carrying secrets they don't talk about out loud. There's reckless midnight drives, laughter that borders on desperate, unspoken crushes, and moments so intimate they burn. Ava's drawn in, even as she begins to suspect that this beautiful, broken little orbit might be just as lost as she is.

But when old wounds resurface and hard truths come to light, Ava will have to decide: is she rebuilding her life-or just hiding in someone else's?

This is a raw, magnetic story of love, friendship, and the terrifying, electric in-between of being young and completely unsure of who you're supposed to be.
