Riquiño It's a "boy meets boy" novel that moves away from the cliché to look at the intimate: a chance encounter, a conversation that lingers, and the possibility—as fragile as it is luminous—of beginning something real in these fast-paced times. In a world where love seems fleeting, the story champions calm: listening, hesitating, returning, naming what we feel. Page by page, Riquiño It explores the beauty of the unexpected and how a single glance can disrupt everything only to reshape it all for the better. It's a tender and believable tale of second chances, small wounds that nonetheless matter, and the courage to stay when running away is the easy option. An invitation to rediscover love in the 21st century without artifice: amidst messages, routines, and those improbable 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 believe in it?
• NOSTALGIA. You understand that scars, visible or invisible, are 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 improbable coincidences.
• LOOK. Have you ever felt that a look can break the rhythm of everyday life and make time stand still?
