My favourite book: Songs for Paula (summary)


Paula is a sixteen years old’s teenager. In a internet’s forum about music meets Ángel, a reporter of twenty-two who works in a music magazine. After two months chatting they decide to stay and meet in person, despite the opinion of Miriam, Cris and Diana, her three best friend,that,with Paula form the funny group of "The Sugus".

But Angel doesn’t appear, so she decides to get into a near Starbucks. There she meets Alex a twenty year old’young with a big smile and who teaches saxophone. He is also a writer. Both are reading the same book: "Perdona si te llamo amor”. When Paula is talking on the phone, Alex write his messenger in the book and leaves. When Paula is leaving the coffe shop too, Angel appears.For an interview with Katia, a pretty trendy singer, he can´t arrive before. She has her bag of Powerpuff Girls and a he a rose.After a walk in the park, they kiss for the first time.

Paul adds Alex to her messenger and start talking with him. Discover that he plays the saxophone. But that's not all he is also a writer and has “the most world’s romantic idea" to show his book: distribute booklets to the first chapters of "After the Wall" in special places where people can find they. Paula,that doesn’t know nothing, decides to stay with him in the same Starbuck when they meet for the first timw. Together spend a fantastic evening.

Also are Katia, that, since his interview with Angel is beganning to think in he, and for meet him better, get his phone and invites him to a photo shoot. In that, she kiss him and then invited him to take a drink, but Angel gets drunk and she must to take he at her home; Mario, Miriam’s brother, who everyone thinks he loves Diana, but in fact it is falling in love for Paula, her best friend, and he want to confess everything that he feels; and Irene, Alex’s stepsister who come to the city to study a course of three months, but in reality, wants to win to his stepbrother .

Paula came Mario’s home with Diana, and when she finally leaves them alone Mario confesses his feelings and kissed Paula. Paula, shocked, slaps him. During the following days, Mario, depressed, doesn’t go to class, lost the exam and locks himself in his room even Paula's surprise party, just a day before his birthday. In that party, Diana goes to his room and together watch movies.

Angel and Paula lived many moments during that intense month of March, as the branch of roses that Angel sent to Paula´s class, the time in a soundproof room, the swim in the pool, a breakfast with churros... So Paula want to have her first time with him. But they feel bad because both have got another person in their life: Paula has got to Alex and Angel to Katia.

But the birthday party is the most decisive moment because Katia and Alex are ready to say what they feel, despite knowing that Paula and Angel are together. Angel decided quickly he wants to Paula, but when Alex confesses to Paula what he feels, the answer is slow in coming, because she is confused, but finally says she loves Angel without knows if it is true or not.

Katia and Alex leaves the party sadly, while Paula and Angel went to a hotel room, for had their first sexual relation, but Paula is so nervous and tells Angel needs to think.
At the end, in April, Paula going with his family to Disneyland Paris, where a guy dressed as the funny character "Mickey Mouse" invites she to dinner.
