Two Christinas, a life that never happened, and the unanswered question: What remains in the end, when first love ends?

Nikos grew up in Ioannina in the ’90s. Adolescence means basketball, Nirvana tapes, and a love that haunts him like persistent rain – a girl next door, Christina, a memory with the scent of vanilla and grass.

Time passes silently and suddenly he finds himself in Athens. A student in a strange city, amidst bouts of loneliness, unanswered questions, and another Christina – more lively, with her own rhythm – who draws him into a different story and confronts him with the question: ultimately, is adulthood acceptance or surrender?

A novel with the bittersweet humor that life leaves when it doesn’t unfold as you imagined. About what we carry without knowing it and the faces we never forgot.

And about that question no one dares to ask aloud: If you knew where you would end up, would you start again?
