Almost Love

Almost Love: A Past-Life Destiny is a contemporary romance woven across Cambodia, Japan, Taiwan, Bali, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, and the United States, where love, fate, and unfinished echoes from another lifetime quietly collide.

Featured on Reedsy Discovery (UK) in the Best Fiction, Best Romance, and Best Contemporary Romance categories.

Malis and Yuth's journey begins in Cambodia among Phnom Penh's skyline, Angkor's ancient stones, Preah Vihear's sacred cliffs, and the glowing waters of Koh Rong Sanloem. As their connection deepens across borders and cultures, coincidences begin to feel less accidental and more like fragments of a forgotten past.

From Tokyo's sacred temples and Taiwan's trembling nights to Vienna's cafés, Prague's old-world streets, Paris's quiet romance, and the emotional crossroads of America, the story unfolds through questions of destiny, timing, healing, and the choices that shape the human heart.

At its core, Almost Love explores the difference between almost love and real love, revealing how one unfinished connection can quietly transform many lives.

This grayscale edition features forty-seven original artworks inspired by architecture, landscapes, and cultural motifs from the countries woven into the story, creating a visually immersive reading experience.
