Abril Posas presents us with a story from the eyes of a thirty-year-old who works as a publicist, rides her bike, fights on Twitter, sings in a cover band and, in short, is the black sheep of the family.

With the acid humor that characterizes her, Posas gives us in this novel a melancholic journey through the music, movies and life of the nineties, and she makes us reflect, together with her protagonist, on adult life and her ups and downs ; about anger, bewilderment and discomfort; on the social, financial and gender constraints learned by an entire generation, and how these can be combated with karaoke, internet battles and a punk concert.

«For those of us who know and admire the narrative of Abril Posas, the arrival of her first novel fills us with joy. A short but intense novel, in which the author gives us the perfect dose of humor and sadness that we need to see our recent past —those years of our most honest laughs— and feel a stroke of nostalgia for all that we lost along the way. but whose memory continues to make us smile.

But no, "This is not a love song", not to the pop culture of the 90s or to the maternal bond, not to the women who teach us with their feminist example to see ourselves in the moments of greatest uncertainty, because Let's be honest, those of us who were happy in the nineties prefer sad songs, those that leave us, however, a certain joy in the spirit. Just like this novel.
