📝 SYNOPSIS:

"A story about the people we almost love, and the versions of ourselves we leave behind."

Almost a Love Story is a poignant, witty, and deeply relatable exploration of modern relationships and the "almosts" that define our lives. Stephanie Chan crafts a narrative that feels like a long conversation with a close friend—honest, slightly messy, and incredibly human.

The story follows the journey of a young woman navigating the complexities of romance, friendship, and self-discovery across different cities. It masterfully captures:

• The "Almost" Relationship: The grey areas of modern dating where feelings are real but timing or circumstances are off.

• Cultural Identity: Navigating expectations and personal desires within a Southeast Asian context.

• Finding Oneself: The realization that sometimes the most important love story is the one you have with yourself.

A finalist for the Epigram Books Fiction Prize, this debut novel is perfect for fans of "sad girl" aesthetic literature and anyone who has ever wondered about the paths not taken.
