The following 20 essays explore every inch of the 'almost' relationship. From the magic of possibility, the frustration of the 'what are we' talks, to the devastation of realizing you may never know, The Truth About 'Almosts' attempts to make some sense of a relationship that never had a label. And in that attempt, it hopefully finds some healing for you along the way.
