Elytra. Mateo's Book (en Inglés) - Samuel Pinya

Mateo has just started university. He trains, studies, and does what is expected of him. His life moves forward with the steady normality of someone who has clear goals and responsibilities to meet. He does not feel that anything is missing, but he has never really stopped to question what he takes for granted.

Everything changes when he meets Miki. What begins as an easy, natural friendship gradually starts to take up unexpected space in his thoughts and his daily routine. It is not only the intensity of what he feels, but the questions it awakens. As he tries to keep up with exams, training sessions, and the expectations of those around him, this new emotion begins to intertwine with everything else.

Mateo soon discovers that sometimes it is not the weight of obligations that unsettles a life, but what one refuses to accept. And that facing a truth - however uncomfortable - can become the first step towards learning how to manage everything else.

MATEO, the first novel in the Elytra series, is an LGBTQ+ romantic novel about growing up, coming to terms with what you feel, and learning to resolve your own inner conflicts.
