Book Review: Almost, Always by Sahiba Kathuria

A raw and tender poetry collection by Sahiba Kathuria, Almost, Always offers gentle companionship through healing, reminding us that even in the in-between, there is grace.

A Quiet Companion Through the Chaos

Almost, Always is not your traditional poetry collection—nor is it a self-help book dressed in rhyme. Instead, it’s a raw and intimate series of reflections, penned not from a place of resolution but from the messy, sacred in-between of healing.

Sahiba Kathuria invites us into a space where vulnerability is not only allowed, but honored. This book does not offer polished answers or silver linings. It doesn’t pretend that pain follows a clear arc or that healing is something to check off a list. Instead, it holds space—for grief, for doubt, for surrender, and most of all, for hope.

Fragments of a Journey, Not a Destination

Each piece in Almost, Always is a quiet breath—written in the stillness of 3 a.m. or the tender light of dawn. These are moments of presence, where the poet is not trying to fix the reader, but walk beside them. Whether you are in the middle of heartbreak, burnout, or quiet resilience, this book will feel like a hand held loosely in yours—unassuming, but unwavering.

The poetry reflects an emotional rhythm that many will recognize: the pull between letting go and holding on, between “almost” giving up and “always” beginning again. It speaks to the people who keep showing up—even when it feels impossible.
