Overview

Some loves shape us.
Others break us.
And some stay with us forever — even when they’re gone.

This novel is an intimate emotional journey through the loves that define us and the versions of ourselves we leave behind. Through memory, longing, and quiet self-discovery, the narrator looks back on the relationships that taught her how to love, how to lose, and how to become herself.

From first love to heartbreak, from confusion to clarity, this story explores nostalgia as both a refuge and a trap — that sweet, dangerous place where the past feels more alive than the present.

Written with raw honesty and tenderness, The Exact Weight of Nostalgia is about learning to move forward without forgetting. About understanding that growing up doesn’t mean erasing who we were, but learning how to carry those versions of ourselves without letting them hold us back.

For readers who love:

• introspective, emotional fiction
• stories about love between women
• beautiful, quiet books that stay with you
• novels about memory, healing, and becoming

This is not just a love story.
It’s a story about learning how to live.

Also available in Spanish as El peso exacto de la nostalgia.
