In Zoe in Barcelona, Zoe escapes heartbreak and grief by leaping into the unknown—booking a spontaneous trip to Barcelona after a message from a mysterious woman named Sofia. What begins as a short escape quickly turns into an emotionally charged whirlwind of intimacy, self-discovery, and queer love beneath the Spanish sky. Between candlelit conversations, soulful confessions, and sensual moments that challenge everything she thought she knew about herself, Zoe starts to realize that this journey may be less about Sofia and more about falling back in love with herself.
Reeling from the end of a long-term relationship and the loss of her father, Zoe is searching for meaning and a way to reconnect with life. A chance encounter online leads her to Barcelona, where she meets Sofia, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who awakens something in her. As Zoe dances through the winding streets of El Raval, flirts her way through the rainbow-soaked chaos of Pride, and kisses Sofia like she’s rewriting the lesbian canon, she’s giving sapphic main character energy in every damn scene.
But the journey isn’t all sunshine and flirtation. Zoe must face old wounds, the emotional weight of new connections, and a very inconvenient visit from the red bitch fairy (yes, her period). With vulnerability, wit, and passion, Necool brings readers a raw and unforgettable story about the ways we find—and lose—ourselves in the pursuit of connection.
A bold, sapphic romance that embraces sensuality, messiness, and emotional honesty.
Explores grief, identity, vulnerability, and healing with fearless authenticity.
The city itself pulses through every chapter, from rooftop moments to Pride parades and candlelit cafés.
A short but powerful read that lingers long after the final page
