She moved across the country for him. Six months later, she's drowning. Maya left Portland-her job, her friends, her entire life-to be with Ethan in Chicago. It was supposed to be the beginning of everything they'd waited twelve years to build. Instead, it feels like the beginning of the end. She can't find work that matters. Can't make friends. Can't shake the feeling that she's living in his life instead of building their life. And every day, the question gets louder: Did I make the right choice? Ethan knows something's wrong. He plans weekends to reconnect. Suggests networking events. Tries everything to make Chicago feel like home for her. But nothing works. And he's starting to wonder if trying harder is just making it worse. When Maya admits she's been interviewing for jobs back in Portland, they both have to face the question they've been avoiding: Is love enough when the logistics don't line up? After We Choose is a story about what happens after the big romantic gesture. After you say yes. After you choose each other and realize that choosing was just the beginning. It's about the messy, honest work of building a life with someone. About learning that sometimes loving someone means giving them space to figure out what they actually want. About the courage it takes to try again when the first attempt didn't work. For readers who loved the emotional depth of Almost, Then Us and want to see what happens when the honeymoon ends and real life begins. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Katherine Center, and Beth O'Leary who crave stories that feel real-where love doesn't solve everything, but choosing each other every day might be enough. --- SERIES TAGLINE Book 2 in the Almost Series Each book stands alone Read in any order
