Breathtaking, smart and sexy, Almost Life is a story of love and longing, of the lives we almost live and the choices we don't make.

One chance encounter can define a lifetime
Erica and Laure meet on the steps of the Sacré-Coeur in Paris, 1978. Erica is a student, relishing her first summer abroad before beginning university at home in England. Laure is studying for her Ph.D. at the Sorbonne, drinking and smoking far too much, and sleeping with a married woman.
The moment the two women meet the spark is undeniable. But their encounter turns into far more than a summer of love. It is the beginning of a relationship that will define their lives and every decision they have yet to make. Spanning cities, decades and heartbreaks, fate brings them within touching distance again and again.
But will they be brave enough to seize the life they truly want?

I am floored
Kiran Millwood Hargrave captures the tenderness of young love and the weight of time with remarkable grace, making every reunion, memory, and missed opportunity feel deeply personal. It is a novel about the lives we live, the lives we imagine, and the people who shape us long after they are gone. Quietly devastating and exquisitely written, this novel shines in its portrayal of how a first love can stay with us forever. Two months spent in a sun-drenched, summery Paris give way to decades of heartache, longing, and the quiet hope of what might have been. -

This book broke my heart a little and yet I would read it again...
At first, I thought that 'Almost Life' had the potential to the lesbian equivalent to Normal People, but then it turned out to be so much more. Set in France and England, it tells the story of Laure and Erica who fall in love on a hot summer day : Their love a riddle that none of them is fully able to solve. The novel brings us to the depth of friendship, love and grief. As we follow Laure and Erica through the different stages of their lives, we learn what it means to love and to lose. A bitter sweet love story with an ending that has left me in tears. -

Lesbian Normal People
Addictive read! This one situationship you can somehow never let go that defines and haunts you (almost) all of your life. Hargrave does reproduce some stereotypical aspects of queerness but the book has a good pace and I enjoyed the writing style, especially Laures parts.
