A coming-of-age novel that shatters preconceptions and clichés about love.

Childhood sweethearts Malina and Nicolas have been "engaged" since a young age. Whether at school or at leisure, both their families see them as a couple that will be together forever. But teenage Nicolas is starting to wonder what life has in store for him. He's not about to take over the family bakery. His father's sudden death makes him painfully uncertain of his love for Malina. When he spies his mother at a café with another man, he begins to wonder about his parents as well, unearthing an entire hidden aspect of their lives.
