All characters are fictional. Or not — Yulia Laba

Lina has always lived by other people's rules: her boring routine is minutely planned by her fiancé, who seeks to turn her beloved into an exemplary housewife and mother of future children. So it is not surprising that when fate throws Lina a chance to change everything, she takes a risk - and dives headlong into the unknown: a yacht tour, new acquaintances, a pinch of intrigue and an attractive captain, a meeting with whom turns her life upside down.

And everything turns out perfectly, until the past reminds of itself with unhealed wounds that force Lina to finally choose: a passionate short-term romance or a real relationship? And most importantly: is love worth giving up the most important thing for it - herself?

"All characters are fictional. Or not" is a novel about the struggle against peer pressure, the courage to fight for one's own happiness and love. First of all - love for oneself.
