Some quotes from the novel:
"...In a normal life, you usually get one chance to captivate a woman—just one. If there’s no attraction at first, it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to spark a flame later. This isn’t just anyone telling you this; it’s coming from someone who studied psychology at Princeton..."
"...Never, ever, under any circumstances, do I ask women about their previous relationships. It’s a fairly common mistake in society—common and utterly absurd..."
"...Anyone who claims it’s impossible to love and hate at the same time is an ignorant soul devoid of any virtue..."
"...Only the weak need power to feel strong..."

This novel reached number 1 in Spain in 2021 just a few weeks after its release. Reviews praised how entertaining it is, the abundance of interesting anecdotes it shares, and its original premise for describing a love story.
