There was a point in my life where I was close enough to touch what I wanted, and I still walked away without it. Two weeks away. That’s all it was. And just like that, everything changed.

For a while, I didn’t know what to do with that.

I didn’t know how to explain it, and I didn’t know how to move past it. All I knew was that I had been close, and close wasn’t enough.

That feeling stayed with me.

It followed me through everything. Through going back, through changing paths, through work, through moving, through relationships, through every decision where I had to ask myself if I was actually going to finish what I started.

This book isn’t about having everything figured out.

It’s about figuring it out while you’re still in it.

It’s about pressure. The kind that builds up quietly and the kind that hits all at once. It’s about learning the difference between being strong and being steady. It’s about understanding that starting over doesn’t mean you lost, and that taking the long way doesn’t mean you’re behind.

It’s about love, responsibility, and becoming better without pretending the process is easy.

Most of all, it’s about refusing to let “almost” be the end of your story.

If you’ve ever been close to something that mattered and had to walk away from it, you’ll understand this.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, like you should be further along, like life didn’t go how you planned, this is for you.

And if you’re still trying to become the person you keep saying you want to be, then you’re exactly where you need to be to read this.

I’m not finished.

Neither are you.

And that’s the point.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
