Never before has the world been so devoid of miracles and intuition as in this era. I firmly believe that there is a need, for sparkle that illuminates our tomorrows. That's why woth all my limits I told the story of a girl, all projected towards the next holiday with her best friend, who instead gets "thrown" on the Costa Brava at the house of a grandmother that she doesn't know at all and is really very, very particular. So, as I was saying, the story starts from a journey that began by chance, or by bad luck as Bianca, 17 years old and with fluctuating self-esteem, would say. In truth, the journey will take her to distant lands where she is, however, able to feel more at home than ever... and where she will discover her roots, but also something very special that binds her to her grandmother Virginia, never seen or known before, if not in old yellowed photos locked inside a shoebox. It is thanks to this gift that she will be able to read and react to the succession of unexpected situations that will lead her to feel like she is on a roller coaster, but also to grow emotionally. As the chapters continue, the characters around the protagonist become deeper, starting from her roots, from Grandma Virginia and her complex story of mourning and unresolved motherhood, up to the past from which Bianca's first great love, Jan and his family. This book is about growth, but also about returning to the past in search of a meaningful narrative that gives a framework to the relationships torn apart around the protagonist. But then it also talks about teenage love, made up of butterflies and holes in the stomach, all seasoned in a magical sauce. He was born 10 years ago but probably like many others, he grew up in the winter of humanity 2020 2022, and sometimes, with a bit of arrogance, he drags the reader into all those somatic reactions typical of adolescent emotions that have been lost with the advent of Covid. It is dedicated to the adolescents I deal with as a psychotherapist, but it hopes to appeal to adults with a romantic soul. Genre Young Adult Paranormal.

"Come on Bianca, at least there are beaches there too," said Giulia unconvinced, clumsily trying to hide her distress. After all, her summer was gone, but for her, who had always felt the strongest of the two, it was more important to be able to support her friend. "Yes... and who am I going with? With my grandmother? I'd rather lock myself in. And then you don't know the other notion..." "What is that?" said Giulia, swallowing loudly.

 "He's not even in Barcelona"

 "Where the fuck is he?" 

"A Canet de mar..." 

"Eh??? Where the fuck is he?" He repeated like an automaton. 

"In Costa Brava. To the right of Barcelona according to Google map, that's all I know." A tear ran down her cheek, and she noticed it and hugged her as hard as she could. It was the night of their leave, the last night of chatting and confidences for the next two and a half months, taking down Whatsapp and Skype, even though they both knew they couldn't substitute their presence for each other. They would sleep together as usual, then after breakfast Giulia would say goodbye. 

And Bianca would be getting ready to leave.
