Just Like That is a raw, emotional love story based on true events. It follows Zack, a young man who reconnects with his high school classmate, Quinter, years later through a simple Facebook message ? a moment that unexpectedly changes everything.
At the time they reconnect, Quinter is entangled in complicated relationships with two other boys. Zack, not intending to fall in love, becomes her best friend ? her safe space, her daily companion in chats, laughter, and quiet confessions. As she opens up about a heartbreaking betrayal by her best friend Georgina, and a complicated romantic revenge that followed, Zack finds himself caring more deeply than he ever expected.
Quinter's world is messy, beautiful, and wounded. Her big expressive eyes and naturally long lashes mask deep emotional scars ? yet there's strength in her vulnerability. As Zack listens, comforts, and simply shows up, a bond begins to form. And just like that, love quietly finds its way in.
When Zack finally confesses his feelings on her birthday, he's shocked to discover Quinter had also fallen for him ? weeks earlier. What begins as a quiet emotional connection blossoms into something real: a sweet and powerful love between two people who were never looking for each other, but needed one another more than they knew.
But love isn't always simple.
As they enter campus life together, things shift. Quinter grows distant. Texts become fewer. Affection fades. Zack, full of hope for a future with her, finds himself unraveling emotionally. His heart battles overthinking, longing, and unspoken fears. He wants to fight for their love, even when her feelings seem to drift like sand through his fingers.
He eventually ends the relationship with a heartbreaking New Year's Eve message ? not because he stopped loving her, but because the silence had become too loud to bear.
Just Like That is a story of modern love: messy, beautiful, fragile, and unforgettable. It's about the joy of finding someone who changes your outlook on life ? and the pain of letting go when they start to slip away. Set against the backdrop of 2025 and written with heart and honesty, this book is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost silently, and tried to find healing in the chaos.
If you've ever found yourself stuck between holding on and moving forward, Just Like That will speak directly to your soul.
