Canciones para Paula
Paula is almost seventeen, and has a date with Ángel, a young man of twenty two whom she has met while chatting online. She is nervous and excited. The minutes go by and the boy does not appear, so she decides to go into a nearby café. There she has an amusing encounter with a stranger called Alex, who by chance is reading the same book as her. Both are young and good looking… Alex has to leave in a hurry for a previous engagement. Just as Paula is about to leave, Ángel appears, apologising for being so late. He is a journalist, and that afternoon he has interviewed Katia, the singer of the moment… Love, indifference, meetings, lies, friendship, music…. There is a place for everything in this romantic story which is guaranteed to keep the reader riveted right up until the end. The novel started life as a blog, and is now a success on paper. www.cancionesparapaula.com
