Una pareja de varones se encuentra cada domingo. La familia, los hijos, la complejidad del amor desde la perspectiva de uno de los amantes.

Apasionado, dulce, ambiguo, doloroso, el encuentro entre dos varones se repite domingo a domingo en un pequeño departamento. Desde allí se asoman al balcón frente al que se despliega el horizonte majestuoso de árboles y edificios de una Buenos Aires pobre y necia, que grita su ruina. Vendrán inmediatamente los días que los separen, los de la semana, la que los seres humanos dedican al trabajo y la familia. Y volverá luego el día de la entrega y la celebración.

A la cálida primavera que anuncian los jacarandás de las plazas, la precedió la lluvia y le sucederá el frío. A la luz del ocaso, antes y después, el sol de la mañana. Y sobre la superficie clara y mínima de esas horas juntos -las del sexo y la conversación de pocas palabras, un banquete que sacia y desespera- se extienden irremediablemente las sombras de las que está hecho el amor.

En esta novela delicada e intensa, Julián López incita a sus personajes a persistir en el viaje hacia el corazón de los otros. Porque es sólo en esa búsqueda a oscuras que se revela el sentido de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A male couple meets every Sunday. Family, children, and the complexity of love, all seen from the perspective of one of the two lovers.

Passionate, sweet, ambiguous, and painful, the meeting between two male lovers repeats every Sunday in a small apartment. From that balcony they overlook the magnificent horizon of trees and buildings of a poor and foolish Buenos Aires with its ruin in full display. The days that separate them will soon come, those weekdays, the ones that human beings devote to work and family. But the day in which they give themselves to each other will soon return.

The warm spring revealed by the jacaranda trees in the squares was preceded by rain, and cold weather will follow it. There is always a morning sun before and after a sunset. And on the clear and minimal instances of those hours together - those of sex and short conversations, a banquet that satisfies yet despairs - the shadows of love are spread.

In this delicate and intense novel, Julian Lopez encourages his characters to persist in the journey towards the hearts of others. Because it is only in that gloomy search that the meaning of life is revealed.

Definitely a comfort read
Format: Kindle
Just a comfy cozy nice long read. While this is definitely a SLOOOOOOOOWWWWW burn, this is how you do RH right; a nice long novel where you actually get to know the characters so you can feel more connected to them & the story, not to mention getting enough time to actually remember all their names haha. & they are all consent kings. Also I do so love me some double omega OV, siiiigh (heart eyes). I wish there had been juuust a bit more spice, like maybe just between Elias & others before MC was ready (made Elias feel a bit underdone or gimmicky without it), I did love this read. Low stress, comfy read. It could've used another round of editing for some minor errors & type issues but it wasn't bad enough to pull ne out of the story. Though I did giggle at 'knecks', thinking kuh-necks in my head. Overall I'd say 9/10

beautiful story
Format: Kindle
I absolutely love this book, however there is quite a bit repetition! The storyline makes up for it, a just skipped them. I like that this was a cozy read, it’s an omegaverse romance, but really barely read as OV, you get a little hierarchy and scent blockers, but if not for that you wouldn’t know. I love the romance aspect however, they take there time and move at her pace! A good read, with some errors, hopefully there is more to come!!

I loved the concept of the story but it went no where painfully slow! There was so much repetition that I skimmed and only paid attention whenever I saw quotation marks. I need...yes we know what you need....said 125 times grew frustrating and tiresome! And what does progressive mean in this boom? There are 3 alphas and 2 omegas...is that different or is it bc of the 3 alphas and Lucian was the really alpha one. The sex was very disappointing too....very G rated in my spice level. There is no epilogue and I think it was like 80 something chapters! I should have read the reviews but the sample got me good! What does soren do for a living? Are the men sexual w eachother bc they did not show that in this story if you are worried about that. It was jus so painstakingly slooowwwwww!!! I get why but dang! Just beware g rated and slow paced w alot of repetition!

It's great but be warned...
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed the idea of this story. I really did! The story was great, the characters were great, and I had a decent enough time reading. I did however, find myself forcing myself to finish this and skimming through a lot of the series. The pacing was slow which is fine, but it was repetitive. Every single conversation Lydia had with these men always had to have some deeper meaning. Even when I thought there would be a light hearted reprieve, it always ended with another lecture or bit of advice. It felt like I was watching her interact with her multitude of therapists than men she was being courted by. I understand this was a path of healing for her but it got very old very fast. It felt excessive in every way to me and this aspect never changed throughout the entire story. Imagine reading an overly inspirational self help book where they tried to make it interesting by throwing in romance? Which again, could work in many cases but it was so excessive to me. That being said, I still think it was a great story and I think everyone should give this a chance!

Absolutely perfect
Format: Kindle
All of the characters are so expertly developed. They all support Lydia with unwavering understanding while she slowly opens up. I liked that the main conflict wasn’t between the pack and it instead pulled them closer together. This is honestly such a perfect feel good cozy omegaverse. There were some typos sprinkled through out but not enough to be irritating.
