“Rocío Carmona makes her debut in the world of literature with La gramática del amor, a novel capable of going one step further in the difficult world of contemporary literature for young people (...) immersing the reader in the world of global culture.” – Joan Portell Rifà, El Periódico
“All the characters are perceived like real people, growing, maturing and learning throughout the novel, and each one is loved in his or her own way!” – Bloc Librohòlicas

Following her parents’ divorce, Irene is sent to a cliffside boarding school in the south of England. There she will experience her first disappointment in love with great pain, while at the same time gaining an unexpected mentor: Peter Hugues. He’s the strictest teacher in the school, but offers to teach Irene the “grammar of love” through seven great novels of the genre, from Goethe and Jane Austen to García Márquez and Murakami.
Through long afternoons in the school’s library, Irene gradually falls in love with literature, and perhaps with her teacher as well, drawn in by the notes written on the margins of the books she reads. Interestingly, it doesn’t occur to her that the notes could belong to someone else… No novel could prepare her for the plot twist that awaits!
