About the Book

Fırat Uran returns with a piercing collection that maps the emotional minefields between anxious hearts and avoidant souls. Olamayanlar 2 captures the electric chaos of chasing connection in a world that rewards perfection—where every swipe, glance, and whispered promise carries the weight of both salvation and ruin.

Through intertwined stories of queer intimacy in Istanbul, Uran exposes the delicious irony of modern romance: we're most alive when we dare to love imperfectly. Melodramatic, erotic, and unflinchingly honest, these narratives pulse with the rhythm of last-call confessions and 3 AM text spirals—each paired with songs that become their own characters.
