At a writing workshop in Berlin, Lucy meets Gregor, who wins her over with his words during one intense summer, then goes silent afterward without explanation. Years later, in Cologne, Gregor unexpectedly reappears in her life, and Lucy finds herself forced to co-host a university podcast alongside him.
Thrown back together, the two have to navigate old wounds, unresolved feelings, and the performance pressure of building something together in public, whether on-air or in their own relationship. SPIEGEL-bestselling author Gabriella Santos de Lima explores toxic patterns in relationships and the difficulty of genuine communication in this New Adult trilogy opener, aimed at readers who grew up online.
"Jetzt sind wir echt" is the first installment of the Jetzt-Trilogie, followed by "Jetzt sind wir eins" and "Jetzt sind wir endlos."
