I love you, but...
A love story told entirely through a couple's text thread.
I love you, but... offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into modern romance-one emoji, one late-night pic, one heart-stopping text at a time. Like picking up a stranger's phone and scrolling through something too private to look away from, the book gives readers front-row access to a relationship as it unfolds in real time.
Sparks fly when Zoey, a spirited kindergarten teacher, meets Green Eyes, an ad exec, during a boozy night at a dive bar that ends with an unforgettable kiss. As their connection deepens, it becomes clear this is more than a one-night attraction-moving from flirty banter to emotional confessions, from sibling drama to shared fantasies.
But when the question of kids surfaces, everything shifts.
She wants a family. He doesn't.
What follows is a gut-wrenching, tender, and darkly funny exploration of what happens when two people fall deeply in love-but want fundamentally different futures.
Part modern romance, part digital diary, I love you, but... is a painfully honest portrait of intimacy in the age of texting-and the fragile line between compromise and self-betrayal.
Perfect for fans of Normal People, Conversations with Friends, and anyone who has ever loved someone through a screen.
Themes: modern relationships - timing - emotional truth - the question that changes everything
