My Almost-Loves is a collection of pieces revealing the devastation of a woman, married and divorced in her twenties, the turmoil experienced of dating in her early thirties, followed by another tumultuous break-up with an almost-husband. It reflects on the moments of confusion and exasperation endured in a world where hooking up is the norm, and monogamous love is near extinct — where uncertainty greets you like an old friend. This book is about the male suitors the writer thought were worthy of her affection and love, but instead of adding to her life, they ripped it apart, leaving her devasted and insecure. My Almost-Loves wades through the messy moments of promise and potential.
