A SKY FULL OF ALMOSTS

(Nine chance meetings, countless missed flights, and years of almosts lead two strangers to discover that some loves are worth crossing the world for, again and again)

What if the love of your life was a stranger you met in an airport, destined to slip through your fingers time and again?

In the bustling chaos of JFK Airport, April Connors, a driven New York City marketing consultant, shares a fleeting, flirty conversation with Andrew Sebelton, a charming tech entrepreneur with a disarming grin. Exchanging only first names, their playful debate over airport coffee feels like a one-off encounter, a moment destined to fade as April, noticing his “cute bum,” watches him disappear into the crowd.Both assume they’ll never cross paths again, just another stranger in the transient blur of travel.

Yet fate has other plans. From Atlanta to Rome, London to Tokyo, their lives intertwine through a series of improbable airport reunions, each meeting defying the odds. Their conversations, raw and soul-baring like a night in Before Sunrise, peel back layers, April’s dreams of writing a novel, Andrew’s restless pursuit of meaning, their shared fears and perfect moments. Each encounter deepens their bond, but life’s obstacles, engagements, breakups, family crises, and missed connections, keep them apart. Why does a near-stranger’s question linger like a melody, haunting their quiet moments? April, guided by her witty friend Lila, and Andrew, nudged by his pun-loving pal Jake, grapple with the pull of a connection that defies logic.

As April’s novel, inspired by their almosts, soars to bestseller status, she searches for Andrew, her heart leading her to X and beyond, only to be halted by Lila’s caution against chasing ghosts. Andrew, wrestling with his own longing, wonders why April’s voice anchors his world. Through years of near misses, their alternating perspectives reveal a love tested by fate’s relentless timing, each reunion a spark that refuses to die.

In a final, heart-stopping moment at JFK, where it all began, April and Andrew confront their almosts, choosing to turn chance into forever. A Sky Full of Almosts is a poignant, slow-burn romance about love found in transit, the power of a single conversation, and the courage to seize a connection that defies the odds.
