Aaria never thought a single message could stir so much inside her. Ten minutes. That's all it took for the boy she once loved, the boy she never stopped thinking about, to remind her of everything she had held onto - quietly, stubbornly, for years.
She thought she was ready to let go... until she found the Notebook of Elsewhere.
A mysterious notebook that allows her to live the lives she never had - every choice she didn't make, every "what if" she left behind, unfolding before her eyes. What if she had confessed at eighteen? What if she had waited? What if their paths crossed later, under different circumstances?
Each timeline feels real, vivid, and intoxicating. Each one pulls her deeper, making her wonder if happiness is somewhere out there - just beyond her reach.
But some loves aren't meant to last. Some stories aren't meant to be rewritten. And some lessons can only be learned by stepping back, facing reality, and daring to move forward.
This is a story about first love, lingering what-ifs, and the courage it takes to finally let go. About the lives we imagine, the choices we never made, and the self we discover when we stop chasing someone else's destiny.
