Not Quite Like That

New

A subtle prose about family ties, inherited trauma, and how women learn to overlook themselves just to remain in relationships. This book will resonate with anyone who has ever chosen not to prioritize themselves in a relationship.

Katya was nineteen when... Jan entered her life — devilishly charming and tragically unhappy. He saw in her that one and only, becoming her air and meaning. But to breathe this air, Katya has to adapt, guess his mood, and make herself convenient.
Katya does not notice the cracks in Jan's story, as long as she feels needed. But will she find the strength to shatter the illusion built for her by someone else?

«Not Quite Like That» — an honest book about dependency, emotional swings, relationships with a narcissist and a pathological liar. About how pain intertwines with personal strength and how difficult it is to break the chain, generation after generation teaching girls not to value themselves.
