Riquiño It's a "boy meets boy" novel that moves away from clichés to explore the intimate: a chance encounter, a conversation that drags on, and the possibility—as fragile as it is luminous—of starting something real in a fast-paced time. In a world where love seems fleeting, the story focuses on calm: listening, doubting, returning, naming what we feel. Page by page, Riquiño explores the beauty of the unexpected and how a glance can disrupt everything, only to put it back together again. It's a tender and believable story about second chances, small wounds that also matter, and the courage to stay when the easy thing to do is run away. An invitation to rediscover love in the 21st century without artifice: amidst messages, routines, and those unlikely coincidences that sometimes become destiny.

Riquiño it is for you if…

• LOVE. Have you ever felt that love can surprise you around any corner, even when you no longer believed in it?

• NOSTALGIA. You understand that scars, visible or invisible, are just part of the most beautiful stories we can live.

• SOUL. You believe that the most sincere and profound connections between two souls are hidden in the most unlikely coincidences.

• LOOK. Have you ever felt that a glance can break the rhythm of everyday life and make time stand still?
