Darío no quiere estar muerto
Description:
Darío is dead. Lucía is alive. Can their relationship have any future? Beatriz Cepeda's (Satan's Bitch) new novel is a hilarious and moving romantic comedy about whether there is love after death. Darío is at the height of privilege: he's a seventeen-year-old white, straight boy, good-looking and intelligent. Everyone knows his future is bright. And, sadly, that future will never come, since, during a vacation, he and his family suffer a fatal accident near Lake Sanabria. Dying so young is terrible. But spending eternity in a place you don't know with your parents, who are on the verge of divorce, and your sister, a teenager hooked on Stranger Things, is unbearable. That's why Darío doesn't want to be dead and will do anything to change his tragic fate. But, as it wasn't all bad news, he'll have the help of Lucía, a girl who can communicate with the dead. And, apparently, also have a crush on them. Mixing romantic comedy and drama, Beatriz Cepeda has written a hilarious and moving novel that, in addition to dealing with themes such as love, toxic relationships, and self-esteem issues, sheds light on a practically forgotten event: the Ribadelago tragedy, when the collapse of a poorly constructed dam caused the death of 144 people. An original and addictive story that is also a wake-up call to the governments that manage what has now come to be called rural Spain. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Darío is dead. Lucía is alive.
