Ready, Just Not Then is an aching story about love, timing, and the quiet journey of becoming whole.
After eleven years of loving the same boy, her friend, her first kiss, her almost-forever, Shane is left with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart that doesn't know how to let go. Kris was never fully hers, yet losing him feels like losing a lifetime. As she tries to piece herself back together, she convinces herself that healing simply means surviving the day without breaking down.
Then Jet appears: gentle, patient, and impossibly easy to talk to. With him, love doesn't feel like guessing or waiting. It feels safe. But Shane is still carrying the weight of her past, and the last thing she wants is to make someone else feel like a second choice. So she pushes him away, choosing to heal alone... even if it means losing something that could have been real.
By the time she finally learns the difference between familiar pain and healthy love, between history and true connection, she gathers the courage to tell Jet how she feels.
But love, like healing, has its own timing.
Told with honesty, Ready, Just Not Then is a coming-of-age romance about growing up, letting go, and discovering that sometimes the right person comes into your life at the wrong chapter, and by the time you're ready, they've already learned how to live without you.
