“May God have mercy on your soul if you manage to bring platonic love down to the earthly plane. This will be your undoing.”
This is not the typical “boy meets girl” love story; it’s more “boy finds girl that he already knew”, accompanied by heavy doses of explicit love and platonic sex... Or was it the other way round?
José Luis is a loser nearing thirty. You know the type: all his exgirlfriends have dumped him for the nearest hipster. Claudia, with whom he has had a platonic love affair ever since they were at school together, turns up again in his life. She used to be a grunge/rapper/goth/rasta/raver but now she’s the coolest hipster in town.
This is his only chance to win her over and get the life he always wanted – he’d better not screw up.
“Has all the ingredients needed to be a best-seller: ukuleles, Tactel track suits, word searches, Victoria’s Secret models, Primperan, rude vocabulary, men in underpants and drawings. Lots of drawings.”
