What happens when you learn to be silent before you learn to choose?
In Salt on My Lips, the reader follows the story of a girl who first tastes freedom in Mallorca with a first kiss by the sea and a heart that opens without protection. What begins as an innocent discovery grows into a life where love is confused with conformity, care with self-loss, and silence with safety.
From island to island, from house to house, she searches for affirmation, stability, and space to exist. Raised with strict rules and little room for her own voice, she ends up in relationships where she increasingly loses herself. Until silence becomes too much, and remaining so impossible.
This is not a story about victimhood, but about patterns and breaking them. About how healing comes not with grand gestures, but with small, courageous choices. About learning to receive instead of carrying. And about love that doesn't grasp, but endures.
Salt on My Lips is a raw, poetic novel about growing up, letting go, and coming home to yourself. For anyone who has ever felt freedom was close but not yet theirs.
