So you smile. You say "we're fine."

You scroll through Instagram at 11 PM wondering why everyone else seems happy while you feel... nothing.

You have everything you're "supposed" to want:

But here's what nobody sees:

The way your stomach drops when you realize it's another Friday night on the couch. The fantasy conversations you have with strangers in your head. The fact that you can't remember the last time you felt butterflies instead of just... emptiness.

And the worst part?

You think it's YOUR fault.

"Maybe I'm expecting too much."
"Maybe this is just what relationships become."
"Maybe I need to be fixed for wanting more than this."

But what if... you're not guilty at all?

What if everything you're feeling is exactly what you SHOULD be feeling when your soul is screaming for you to wake up?

Let me welcome you to Bénédicte.

She's 30 years old. She has a good job. A stable relationship. And she's dying inside.

Her only escape is Lady—her dog—and the agility courses, where she can finally breathe.

Then one day, at a conference, she locks eyes with a mysterious man named Damien.

And everything she's been pretending not to feel comes flooding to the surface.

What happens next isn't a fairy tale. It's not a simple "she leaves and lives happily ever after" story.

It's the raw, honest, uncomfortable journey of a woman forced to confront the truth she's been avoiding:

You can't keep pretending forever.

Here's what makes this different from every other book about relationships:

This isn't advice. It's not a manual. It's not a self-help book disguised as fiction.

It's a mirror.

And in that mirror, you're going to see yourself.

You're going to feel understood—maybe for the first time in years.

You're going to cry (maybe).

You're going to laugh (probably more than once).

And by the time you reach the last page, you're going to KNOW—really know—what you need to do next.

Not because I told you. But because watching Bénédicte face her truth gave you permission to finally face yours.

This is "Walk the line."

And it might just change your life.
