THE SUM OF ALL EMOTIONS

A candid, funny Latin American manifesto on friendship, family,
and love in an age of isolation.

Why do we hold tightly to some friends, argue with family, and believe in soulmates, yet feel lonelier than ever? Colombian writer and feminist Ita María blends personal stories, reporting, and pop culture critique to explore the
three main pillars of attachment—friendship, family, and romantic—showing how capitalism, patriarchy, and digital life can shape them. From childhood friendships pacts forged amid political unrest to the strains of the pandemic
and a love story that defies fairy tales, she urges readers to create new, fairer ways of caring beyond the traditional family. Candid, funny, and vibrantly Latin American, The Sum of All Emotions is a call to build freer ways of loving in
an age of isolation.
