If You Felt It Too: The Substack

A home for the intimate, the unspoken, and the almost.

This Substack chronicles the world of If You Felt It Too, a lyrical novel-in-verse about a brown girl named Rupali and the older mentor who sees her too closely and not enough. Here, you’ll find exclusive vignettes, behind-the-scenes process notes, character studies, and essays that explore the tender ache between recognition, longing, and emotional boundaries.

If this story lives under your skin, if you’ve ever loved someone you weren’t supposed to, or if you’ve ever been changed by a connection that blurred the line between care and ache… this is where the conversation continues.

Read excerpts. Feel the heartbreak. Stay for the healing.
