Not Your Girlfriend is a fiercely intimate, quietly defiant queer love story about what happens when you spend your whole life writing happy endings for everyone but yourself.
Jesse Valentine has a good life-or so it looks from the outside. He manages a beloved Detroit indie bookstore, has a meticulously put-together boyfriend who's about to become his fiancé, and a viral proposal video that makes strangers swoon. But beneath the perfect surface, Jesse is haunted by the ghosts of a messy first love that once burned so bright it left scars that never healed.
When a text from the past shatters the delicate life Jesse has built, he must choose between the safety of the story everyone wants him to live and the dangerous truth he's spent years burying under carefully crafted smiles.
Told with raw honesty, humor, and a poet's heart, Not Your Girlfriend is for anyone who's ever wanted a love that feels like a secret and a revolution all at once.
Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ocean Vuong, Jason M Buss's debut is a tender, fearless portrait of queer desire, impossible choices, and the stories we tell ourselves just to make it through the day.
