About the Book:A nostalgic ode to all almost-love stories—the ones with no label and no title but an undeniable intensity. Call it what you want... Was it love?
The last thing Sloane Hart needs is a guy to distract from her pursuing her dreams. After witnessing the emotional damage of her own parents' breakup, she swears off dating, Sloane determined to graduate college, become a writer, and move to New York to live her best Sex and the City life. That is, until she meets her upstairs neighbor Ethan Brady. Ethan is guarded and mysterious, unwilling to talk about his past or let anyone get too close. And Sloane's attraction to him is undeniable.
As they start dating without labels, they both know it can’t last forever. Sloane imagines a future with Ethan, but he can’t give her the commitment she needs. Will she be able to convince Ethan to take a chance on it? Or will she have to learn the hard way that some things just aren’t meant to be?
Sloane and Ethan’s story is a bittersweet tale of love and self-discovery that explores the complexities of situationships and the challenges of moving on.
