El arte de ser nosotros
Inma Rubiales · 2023
La vida no es justa, y eso Logan lo sabe muy bien. Después de una dolorosa pérdida, su corazón se ha vuelto hermético, frío e inquebrantable. Por eso no le importa que todos crean que es el malo de la historia. Leah nunca se ha sentido la protagonista de la suya. Vive con la cabeza enterrada en los libros, intentando pasar desapercibida, y se refugia en la gran comunidad de lectores que tiene en internet. Leah no es el tipo de chica que Logan está buscando. Y Logan es la clase de chico que Leah trata de evitar. Quizá por eso lo que hay entre ellos funciona tan bien. La historia que ha tocado el corazón de miles de lectores en Wattpad en una edición especial con capítulos inéditos. Tras el éxito de Hasta que nos quedemos sin estrellas, Inma Rubiales vuelve con una historia que no olvidarás. «Una historia increíble, pasional, sentimental y reflexiva. Al leer siempre te quedas con ganas de más. Sin duda, un libro que no te decepcionará en absoluto.» @Nereadg05 «Desde el primer capítulo ya supe que iba a ser mi nueva obsesión.
