, published in 2020 by Isabel Simal , is a contemporary romance novel that explores the complexities of love when it defies societal norms—specifically, the stigma of a significant age gap. Plot Overview

: Nadia represents a generation facing economic and personal uncertainty. Her journey is as much about reclaiming her voice as a writer and her independence as it is about her romance with Álex.

What begins as a chance encounter over a soda and a game of table football quickly evolves into a deep connection. A simple park bench becomes their sanctuary—a "bubble of happiness" where they retreat from the "villains" of the outside world, covering their doubts with music, laughter, and physical intimacy.

A standout feature of the book is its dual-perspective approach. While Nadia serves as the primary narrator, each chapter concludes with a reflection or "point of view" from Álex. Reviewers from sites like Babelio note that this structure allows readers to see Álex’s emotional evolution and provides a balanced view of the relationship without repetitive retelling of events.
