Debut book - Yes To The Spanish Reboot

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.

After two failed engagements and the spectacular implosion of her family’s expectations, Nadia Harris decides it’s time to stop living for everyone else — and start living for herself.

With nothing but a suitcase, a bruised ego, and a few questionable choices behind her, she stumbles her way from heartbreak to hard-won freedom. Along the way, Nadia discovers what it means to stand on her own two feet: facing culture shock, rebuilding her confidence, and learning that independence isn’t about having all the answers, but about daring to ask new questions.

Witty, warm, and unflinchingly honest, The Making of the Asian Abroad is a story of self-discovery, second chances, and choosing your own path when life refuses to follow the script.
