Аннотация
Книга revolves around the life of Aline, a young woman navigating the complexities of her early adulthood amidst personal struggles and budding success. The story begins as Aline celebrates her twentieth birthday, marking a significant milestone after two years of transformative experiences. Having transitioned from a past steeped in familial turmoil—characterized by her parents' battles with alcoholism and a childhood fraught with bullying and financial instability—Aline has emerged as a popular blogger. Her newfound fame has afforded her the financial independence to escape her toxic home environment and build a more stable life. Aline recounts her past, emphasizing the loneliness that stemmed from her family's issues, which led to her living with her aunt for periods and feeling ostracized by peers due to her circumstances. However, her relentless ambition to become a successful blogger fuels her drive for self-reinvention. As she moves into a dormitory, she further develops her career, creating a captivating online persona that resonates with her audience. Aline curates her living space to serve as a professional backdrop for her video content, all while dealing with criticism and negativity from some corners of the internet. Despite these challenges, she resolves to focus on her growth and the enjoyment of her craft. On her birthday, Aline chooses to celebrate at a club called “Metla,” inviting classmates and followers to join her. While the atmosphere is electric and her friends surround her, there is an undercurrent of loneliness within Aline, echoing her earlier life experiences. She plays the role of the joyful celebrant, concealing her deeper anxieties about rejection and trust stemming from her history of emotional neglect. This inner conflict underscores Aline's pursuit of happiness in a world that had previously been defined by fear and isolation. As the narrative unfolds, the focus shifts to the complex relationship between two other characters, Kirill and Alisa (also referred to as Lava), highlighting their emotional entanglement against the backdrop of familial and professional pressures. Kirill finds himself grappling with his father’s expectations to join the family business while nursing profound feelings for Alisa. His internal struggle is amplified when he discovers Alisa flirting with another man, which triggers feelings of jealousy and insecurity, especially as his father reveals a plan for an impending wedding that complicates matters further. The tension escalates during a meeting intended for a business discussion regarding an advertisement contract, where Kirill cannot contain his anger upon realizing that Alisa’s motivations for engaging with this opportunity stem from a desire to help her sick aunt. This revelation incites a heated confrontation between them, revealing the cracks in their relationship as Kirill's anger blinds him to Alisa’s intentions. She tries to explain her choices, but Kirill's frustration overshadows her efforts, culminating in an emotional standoff that leaves Alisa feeling vulnerable and humiliated. Determined to maintain her career amid personal turmoil, Alisa resolves to continue creating content, even as her relationship with Kirill hangs in the balance. The narrative paints a portrait of her resilience as she decides to focus on her work, such as filming a makeup unboxing video, while wrestling with her emotions regarding Kirill. The climax of the story emerges through a tender confrontation between the two, where they find themselves in a moment of intimacy despite the previous conflicts. Alisa, kneeled before Kirill, engages in a passionate exchange of kisses, momentarily overshadowing their previous disagreements. Kirill’s concerns about her career as a blogger resurface, with him voicing worries about her "trading her face." This moment leads to a rift as Alisa asserts her right to make her own choices, framing her work as a personal and independent venture. Yet, the passions between them overpower their differences, momentarily dissolving the conflicts into a shared longing to remain together. They admit their reluctance to part, emphasizing a strong emotional bond that persists despite clashing perspectives on their lives and futures. Throughout these developments, the book deftly explores themes of personal growth, emotional resilience, and the complexities of modern relationships, drawing parallels between Aline’s journey to self-acceptance and the challenges faced by her contemporaries. Each character’s struggle with their past and desires highlights a broader narrative about the fight for happiness and connection in a world fraught with expectations and misunderstandings.
