A Year of Almosts (en Inglés) - Adam Gaffen

Right person. Wrong time. One year of almosts.

Dana's life is stable, sensible, and carefully arranged. A good job, a long-term boyfriend, and a future that looks perfectly respectable on paper.

Kaia's life is the opposite-creative, chaotic, and built around never staying anywhere long enough for things to get complicated.

When they meet on a freezing Manhattan rooftop on New Year's Eve, the connection between them is instant.

The timing is terrible.

Over the next twelve months, Dana and Kaia keep colliding across New York City-at gallery openings, parties, late-night conversations, and chance encounters that feel a little too meaningful to ignore. Each time, the chemistry is still there.

Each time, something in their lives gets in the way.

Dana is beginning to realize that comfort and happiness are not the same thing.

Kaia is starting to understand that the right connection might be worth risking the walls she's built around herself.

But growing into the people they need to be doesn't happen overnight.

And sometimes love doesn't arrive in a single perfect moment.

Sometimes it takes a year of almosts.

A Year of Almosts is a character-driven slow-burn sapphic romance about timing, growth, and the moment when two people finally become ready for the love that's been waiting all along.

Perfect for readers who love:

slow burn romance • right person/wrong time • bisexual & sapphic romance • emotional character growth • New York City settings • messy relationships that turn into real love

Set in the wider Cassidyverse (with a few familiar faces for longtime readers), this novel stands completely on its own.

Sometimes the hardest part of love isn't finding the right person.

It's becoming ready for them.
