Fallon Wimbley has lived her life in almosts. Almost perfect grades. Almost the right timing. Almost falling in love.
Ezra Green is the almost she should've seen coming. Gorgeous, brilliant, endlessly complicated - her brother's best friend.
What started as friendship in their youth turns into the kind of connection that burns slow and bright, the kind that changes you even when it breaks you.
Set against the heat and heartache of New Orleans, ALMOST begins a years-long journey of discovering the people who mark us, the versions of ourselves we leave behind, and the love that teaches us what we're capable of surviving.
Told with brutal honesty and haunting tenderness, ALMOST is the story of Fallon's life - of ambition and loss, of family and first loves, of the quiet ache of growing up and realizing that some loves are meant to change you, not keep you.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go.
It's learning to live with the almost.

❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk!
