Summary
Seventeen-year-old Lamine Yamal seems to have it all: talent, fame, and a spot on FC Barcelona’s first team. But beneath the surface, the pressure of living up to the world’s expectations is tearing him apart. Battling self-doubt, an eating disorder, and a secret he can’t share, Lamine feels more alone than ever—even surrounded by his teammates and friends.
With his older brother Fermin basking in a public relationship and his best friends wrapped up in their own lives, Lamine hides his struggles behind a fragile smile. The only thing keeping him grounded is Pau Cubarsí, his teammate and closest confidant. But when Lamine realizes his feelings for Pau run deeper than friendship, it threatens to unravel the delicate balance he’s built to survive.
As Lamine’s personal battles intensify, he faces an impossible question: can he open up to those who love him, or will the weight of his secrets crush him completely?
