◆ A Novel by Shahar Masori

We Are

A story about adult love.

We Are is Shahar Masori's debut novel, a story about the kind of love that becomes possible once you stop performing. It begins when the bravado has worn thin and the careful self-presentation has stopped working, when there is nothing left to do but show up as you actually are and hope someone meets you there.

The two people at the center of this story have lived, and lost, and been versions of themselves they would rather forget. When they find each other, the timing is inconvenient and the circumstances are imperfect, and they choose each other anyway. That choice, made again and again in small ordinary moments, becomes the real love story.

This novel exists because of a lifetime of imagination, and because of everyone who ever sat across from someone they loved and chose, in one small ordinary moment, to keep choosing them. If you have ever done that, this book is for you.

Author's Note

"I wrote this book for anyone who has ever loved someone enough to keep choosing them. The love that has nothing to prove. The love that turns out to be the rest of your life. It does not matter how old you are or where you are in your story. If you have ever chosen someone, quietly and on purpose, this book was written for you."
