What is it about?
Carla is about to marry a man who dazzled her from the very first moment, but she soon discovers that, as the saying goes, all that glitters is not gold. Her life as a nursing assistant, sweet and seemingly simple, becomes complicated when reason and heart begin to go down separate paths. Amidst her doubts, an unconditional friend appears, a student who becomes her own personal ray of light, capable of making her forget the shortcomings that her boyfriend, despite his initial brilliance, fails to meet. The novel follows Carla's journey as she debates between what she wants, what she thinks she wants, and what is really best for her, in a maturation process where the lights and shadows within her become increasingly blurred. The reader will accompany the protagonist in her search for an ending that may be unexpected, or not, because with Carla, you never know.
