If You Are Reading This
Letters from the Edge of Almost
Valentina Saenz
What if the greatest love of your life was never yours to keep?
Lucía was never supposed to fall for Erin. But one glance turned into a spark, a spark into a tether—and what followed was everything unspoken, everything undone.
Told through haunting letters and poetic chapters,
If You Are Reading This
is a deeply intimate portrait of longing, restraint, grief, and impossible love.
It’s the story of two women—both married—caught between what they feel and what the world says they’re allowed to want. Valentina Saenz weaves memory, fiction, and raw emotional truth into a heartbreakingly honest exploration of what it means to almost touch the life you could have lived. This isn’t a love story. It’s a survival story—with love in the margins.
Perfect for readers who loved
In Five Years
by Rebecca Serle,
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
by Taylor Jenkins Reid, or the lyrical honesty of Ocean Vuong.
