A three-month situationship should not have ruined James Valle's life.
And yet, somehow, it did.
Now thirty-five, TikTok-famous, and a chronic yearner, James should be living his best brunch-coded life in Southside. Instead, he's still trying to understand why losing Victor hurt more than relationships that lasted years.
But when James unexpectedly reconnects with three ex-boyfriends (Mamma Mia style), each relationship forces him to confront a different lesson about love, heartbreak, and the dangerous stories people tell themselves when they desperately want someone to stay.
As old wounds reopen and long-buried truths resurface, James begins to realize that surviving a situationship isn't really about getting over someone.
It's about learning why you were willing to lose yourself for them in the first place.
Funny, heartbreaking, painfully relatable, and filled with friendship, queer joy, emotional chaos, and hard-earned wisdom, A Solid Guide to Surviving a Situationship is a story about heartbreak, healing, and learning what kind of love you deserve.
Because sometimes the people who hurt us most aren't the ones we loved the longest.
They're the ones we built a future with.
