Everything I Know About Love

No one tells you how much it will hurt when a person stops texting back. No one prepares you for the kind of silence that follows a breakup with someone who was never technically your boyfriend. And no one warns you that losing a best friend can feel more devastating than losing a partner. This book isn't about clean breaks or perfectly timed redemptions. It's about everything in between-the confusing, beautiful, soul-stretching moments you don't post about. It's for the nights you lie awake wondering what you did wrong, for the mornings you scroll too far and regret it instantly, and for the days you're fine until a song knocks the air out of your chest. It walks through the quiet grief of "almost" relationships, situationships, friends-turned-strangers, and the people you still think about even after you've blocked them. It holds space for the emotionally exhausted, the soft-hearted, and the ones who've tried to play it cool while falling apart behind the scenes. This is not a guide. It won't give you 10 steps to let go or tricks to never text your ex again. But it will give you honesty. The kind of honesty that feels like someone finally said what you were thinking. It captures the emotional mess of being young, being in love, being left, and still wanting more anyway. If you've ever been called "too much," if you've ever tried to be the chill girl and failed, if you've ever been the therapist friend, the one left behind, or the one who still checks their story-this book sees you. And you might just see yourself in it too.
