About the book: 2024 / Billie Letelier received her unusual name in honor of the singer who, according to family legend, had the most beautiful voice in the world. Since childhood, she has been trying to understand what she has in common with the mysterious Billy Pretty. Perhaps a love of music? After all, nothing touches her heart more than the singing of a gardener in a city park, the sounds of a piano from the apartment on the floor below and her favorite songs in her headphones. One summer day, similar to one another, Billy meets Maxim on the stairs. Since then, their life paths have constantly crossed, even when they live on different continents. But distinguishing love from friendship and not losing yourself in another turns out to be difficult. This story could be called “They Loved Each Other. But not at the same time."
