Who says love has to be serious? Even though the protagonist claims she has no sense of humor, true love is supposed to make us laugh until we cry-and lift us on wings of lightness.

Together with Luce, a neighbor she meets in rather heated circumstances, and her lifelong friends Bianca and Irene, Alice sets out on a journey of self-discovery-and love. Which, alas, no matter how hard she tries, she simply can't live without. About the author...
