Corazón de cactus y más formas de querer
The most important things in Lara's life are her friends and music and she is planning to start a DJ double act with her best friend Martina. But suddenly one morning everything changes. She meets Diego, a Colombian boy who lives in Barcelona and Martina tells her that she won't be able to start a DJ act with her so Laura will have to DJ by herself. On top of this, everyone around her seems to be head over heels in love. It feels like love is a kind of plague and Lara plans to steer clear of it. Does she really? Is it obligatory to fall in love and to believe in soul mates? In this novel Anna Manso invites us to love. To love everyone, our family, our friends, to fall in love; but to love well, without bitterness, without blame, without prejudice, and most of all to love ourselves. And all to the soundtrack of the music Lara is always playing.
