A Look Into Distances: Distances We Call Love Book Launch
In Estremos’ literary world, heartbreak is not the entire story. It is one part of a larger process of becoming.
On October 15, Distances We Call Love Marwin Estremos launches an important milestone in his identity as a writer. For someone whose life has been shaped by distance, destinations, and travels, the book offers more than just stories; it offers experiences and asks the question: What happened between us?
Because reducing the book to just heartbreaks alone would overlook the bigger message.
Through the hybrid form of Estremos’ writing, the book invites readers to reflect and listen to their own thoughts as it guides them through the turmoil.
Beyond the first publication of book 1, Estermos is working on a six-book project centred around the becoming. The long-term vision suggests that the author not only intends to explore a specific theme but also plans to expand rather than return to the same experiences.
Who knew listening to your emotions and thoughts could be this gentle and unhurried?
Estremos promises that not every ending will make sense nor will there ever be a step-by-step instruction to move on, but it offers something better and that is understanding one’s own identity.
Distances We Call Love is a heartfelt reflection on love, loss, healing, and the quiet courage to begin again. Every page feels deeply personal, yet its message resonates with anyone who has loved, lost, and found the strength to move forward.
What makes this book truly special is the author’s vulnerability. Through honest and heartfelt storytelling, he reminds us that love given to the wrong person is never wasted—it becomes a lesson that leads to growth, self-discovery, and ultimately, self-love. The contrast between a whirlwind romance and the slow, intentional journey of healing is beautifully portrayed, offering hope that restoration always follows heartbreak. — DEMAVANESSA S., Goodreads reviewer
