The Erasmus that changed my life
For twenty-one years, my dream was simple: escape to Spain. I wanted the sun, the music, the culture, and a semester of living a movie-perfect Mediterranean life.
But the universe has a chaotic sense of humor.
Due to a language barrier panic and a professor's last-minute advice, my Spanish dream gets swapped for a third-choice wildcard: Klaipėda, Lithuania. Instead of sun-soaked beaches, I land in a freezing Baltic town, determined to make the most of my Erasmus exchange by partying, flirting, and living my best independent life.
Then, I see him.
He’s tall, intriguing, and it turns out, he’s a basketball player. The biggest cosmic joke of all? He’s actually from Spain.
What starts as an intense fascination quickly turns into a frustrating game of mixed signals. He seems completely uninterested, but the electric chemistry between us refuses to die. Through a global pandemic lockdown, chaotic student parties, and a series of hilarious interruptions,the universe keeps throwing us together.
With a ticking clock on our exchange semester and a strict deadline from my friends to either make a move or move on, I have to figure out if this international detour is just a temporary getaway... or the best decision of my life.
A heartwarming, funny, and deeply personal romance about how sometimes, when you don't get the destination you wanted, you end up exactly where you belong.
