He believed love was for the weak. Then a stranger showed up crying over a plate of lamb at a wedding neither of them wanted to be at. Leo is a veterinary student - a hopeless romantic, disastrously sincere, the kind of person who believes in great loves without ever having felt one. Ícaro is arrogant, magnetic, sharp as a blade, and entirely committed to never letting anyone in again. When the two of them collide at the reception of Alicia's wedding - she being Leo's best friend and Ícaro's sister at once - neither of them is ready for what comes next.
What begins as one chaotic night and a kiss that never happens slowly becomes something neither of them has a name for. Leo falls fast and hard. Ícaro holds out with everything he's got. But in Grande Sunshine - a country quietly sliding toward religious intolerance - loving the "wrong" way carries real consequences. And just when happiness finally seems within reach, the world outside decides to collect its price.
A slow-burn LGBTQ+ romance about two broken hearts building something brave together - and the moment it all comes apart.
