LESUNG: Halbwach

Come join us for a reading from *Halbwach* by SPIEGEL bestselling author Sophia Como on July 11, 2026, at your Hugendubel bookstore in Stuttgart!

In her latest work, Sophia Como tells the story of Zoe, who is searching for her own path amid independence, desire, and self-discovery, while exploring the question of what is expected of us in relationships and why we always want what we can’t have.

The evening will be hosted by Theresa Haubs!

About the book:
Weekend cocktails, journaling in a cozy old apartment, and no-strings-attached, steamy sex
As a successful author, Zoe loves romantic stories—as long as they aren’t her own. Because in real life, love means confinement and stress for her. So she stays independent, goes out partying, has one-night stands, and advances her career. Zoe is convinced: she doesn’t need a relationship. When she meets the attractive Mael, everything seems perfect. He, too, wants nothing to do with a serious commitment under any circumstances and offers Zoe exactly what she wants—intimacy without strings attached. But suddenly, that intimacy doesn’t feel so casual anymore, and the life plan Zoe has so carefully crafted begins to crack. Eventually, she embarks on a brutally honest journey of self-discovery and must answer quite a few questions along the way: What is expected of us in relationships? Why do we always want what we can’t have? And why has she really been single for so many years?
