In Love — Nadia Bila, adult romance

In Love / Закоханий by Nadia Bila is a raw, vivid exploration of coming‑of‑age, love, identity, and the messy truths behind what we show others. Published in 2024 by Artbooks, this 336‑page Ukrainian edition (hardcover, ~ 140×210 mm) invites readers into Anton’s world—a world that looks perfect: athletic, handsome, popular, admired. But when Anton visits a new dentist, something unmoors him. For the first time, he is forced to question his life, his sexuality, his relationships.

Over two years, Anton experiences more emotional turbulence than many do in a lifetime: euphoric infatuation, confusing betrayals, random lovers, the rift in old friendships, and the forging of new ones. He moves through moments of apathy and longing, self‑denial, and honesty. In Love doesn’t shy away from complexity and discomfort. It presents love not always as comfort, but as a force that reveals our hidden selves. With adult themes, mature intimacy, and a fearless look at what it means to grow up differently, this is a book for those ready to feel deeply, ask hard questions, and acknowledge the mistakes that shape us.
