Book summary
A contemporary novel about friendship, dreams, and personal growth. Follow Aitana, a young nurse striving to become a midwife while recovering from a toxic relationship. Together with her three inseparable friends, you will discover that true strength is born from imperfection and that love can knock on your door again when you least expect it.
What is it about?
Aitana is 25, a nurse, and lives in Valencia with a clear goal: to become a midwife. However, the last year has been especially hard, divided between work and studies, with no time to enjoy herself. Added to this is the need to recover from a toxic romantic relationship that has left its mark on her.
Her lifeline is three friends: Mar, a midwife in Valencia; Laura, the wildest of the group; and Paula, the posh one. They met on a trip to Dublin in 2007 thanks to a student scholarship, and since then, their friendship has been unbreakable. Despite the distance between Valencia and Madrid, their get-togethers are full of adventures that prove true bonds know no miles.
The story follows Aitana on her journey toward professional and personal motherhood, as she wonders if she can let love back into her life.
