A complete lesbian autofiction novel, an ode to life.

If Carlota has it all ―she’s turned thirty, works in a job related to her studies, and lives with a girlfriend she adores― where does the anxiety come from?

Every night, Carlota fights insomnia by recalling scenes from her childhood during the nineties, when she went from living in a luxury penthouse on Fuencarral Street to moving to a subsidized apartment in Vallecas.

Like all kids, she expected a lot from life; but years pass and she finds herself in a post-pandemic Madrid, stuck in a job she hates and listening, possessed, to reggaeton to avoid thinking. She’s at a point in her life where she doesn’t know whether to jump on the bandwagon of having children with her girlfriend or to leave everything behind and travel Europe in a van.

However, her mother’s illness will disrupt her plans. When she recovers the family photo albums, she discovers that not everything is as she thought: between achievements and setbacks, her life has actually been a good movie.

Carlota, cariño is an autofiction novel and an ode to life: the one you lived, the one you have, and the one yet to come.
