We Are Fire

Coming of age
Romance

And you, have you ever fallen in love? The adventure of first love from a male point of view.

This is the story of Nicolas, a light-hearted troublemaker, and his best friend Alex, who only seemingly resembles him. Because in reality he has a hidden side that he only expresses by sending voice messages to himself, in a sort of secret diary. However, the summer they spend together, working on a campsite in Salento, will change everything forever. And if, at the beginning, the real protagonist seems to be Nicolas, willing to do anything to win the heart of Mia whom he fell for right away, page after page another truth will emerge: that first love is an unstoppable force. It can overwhelm the strongest of friendships. As well as bringing out who we really are, even if we’ve never had the courage to be that person before.

  • A plot full of twists and turns from the first to the last page, mixing the strong emotions typical of love stories with the fast-paced rhythm of the best adventures.
  • A highly topical story – between sentimental education and toxic masculinity – to break the gender stereotypes according to which there are stories for men and stories for women.
