Two young people lost in life are ready to fall in love, but soon discover that to find themselves, they must first dare to feel. With this novel, full of honesty, sensitivity, and emotional depth, Tamara Molina confirms her status as one of the most powerful voices in Spanish romantic fiction.

 

In present-day Barcelona, Naila and Bruno are two young adults who, from very different backgrounds, share the same struggle: the search for identity amid social pressure and the feeling of being trapped in lives that do not truly represent them.

Naila dropped out of university with no clear direction. Moving between precarious jobs and superficial friendships, she feels lost and vulnerable, unable to assert herself even in her intimate life. The arrival of Aisha, a crossfit coach who becomes both a friend and a role model, opens up a space of genuine support for her. Bruno, by contrast, seems to have it all: a stable job in advertising, family pride, and the image of success. Yet beneath the surface lies the frustration of a creative who sacrificed his dreams for security. A chance encounter between Naila and Bruno sparks a connection that gradually forces them to confront their own contradictions.

Their relationship grows through unexpected encounters: an intimate conversation stuck in traffic, a shared discovery of baking, complicity in dance classes, or outings with friends. Between jokes, confessions, and first kisses, attraction evolves into an intimacy charged with tenderness and desire. Naila finds in Bruno a gaze that encourages her to explore new paths—sewing, dancing, cooking—while he rediscovers in her the spark he had lost.

Cracks soon begin to appear. Bruno places the burden of his happiness on Naila, taking refuge in her to compensate for his professional frustration. She, in the midst of rebuilding herself, becomes trapped between hope and guilt. Emotional dependence, unresolved fears, and the pressure to define themselves end up eroding the relationship. In one of the most painful scenes, they both acknowledge that they love each other but are not ready to support one another. They decide to part ways, hoping to find themselves before finding each other again.

Time transforms them. Naila makes her way into the world of fashion and costume design, building her own path through her creative versatility. Bruno, after leaving advertising, explores the field of animation and VFX, reconnecting with his true passions. After several chance crossings and tension-filled encounters, fate brings them back together on a major audiovisual production. The chemistry is immediate, and the complicity remains intact. This time, both arrive stronger, with healed wounds and a more solid sense of identity.

The epilogue celebrates this rebirth: Naila, confident in her ability to reinvent herself, and Bruno, proud to create again, choose each other once more. With patience, respect, and shared projects, they begin to write a story in which loving and growing are no longer opposing paths, but parallel ones.
