DEBUT NOVEL

Nadia isn’t moving to Barcelona… she’s running.

Running from expectations. From a life in Singapore that looks flawless on paper but feels like someone else wrote it. Barcelona is supposed to be her reset button: anonymity, zero pressure, and the thrill of starting over entirely on her own terms.

Instead, she’s blindsided by dinners that begin when she’s ready for bed, shops that vanish on Sundays, Spanish that betrays her at the worst possible moments, and job interviews that go nowhere fast. As her savings shrink and her confidence wobbles, Nadia learns the hard way that reinvention is not as glamorous as the Instagram version.

But then come the small wins: friendships sparked over tapas, misadventures that turn into stories, and a city that refuses to let her fail quietly. And just when she starts to find her rhythm, she meets Diego—warm, unhurried, and everything her old life wasn’t—who pulls her into hidden corners of Barcelona, secret after-parties, and the radical possibility that life isn’t something you conquer… it’s something you savor.

Yes To The Spanish Reboot is a funny, warm, full-of-heart second-chance love story about starting over, choosing yourself without apology, and falling for a life (and a person) you never planned on because sometimes the best version of your life begins when everything goes delightfully off-script.

ABOUT NORA

Born and raised in Singapore, Nora Qin has always been drawn to new places and the stories they hold. After nearly seven years living in Spain — where she began her Master’s degree in International Marketing at the University of Sussex — she now calls California home. Her background spans over a decade in broadcast production, promotions, and digital media at iHeart Radio and CBS13, experience that sharpened her eye for the small, meaningful moments in everyday life.

Nora first began writing her debut novel in 2019, but it was in the quiet, tender months following her daughter’s birth in 2023 that the story truly took root. Today, she writes about second chances, small joys, and the beautifully messy ways we find our way back to ourselves.
