Last Car Up Cerro Lucero

About this book

Valparaíso, 2087. Machines polish every love note, so a handwritten letter is the city's rarest luxury. Seventeen-year-old Renata Iturra forges them for rich kids from a booth beside the Ascensor Lucero, a funicular that has stood closed since the spring two years ago when she sold its maintenance ledger to the water company and broke the heart of the boy whose family ran it. Now Gabriel Sotomayor is back, lodging twenty steps from her booth and determined to save the lift before the demolition crews arrive on New Year's Eve. When a shy heiress hires Renata to win him with letters, the pay is too good and the revenge too neat to refuse. But a forger who starts writing the truth in someone else's name may find she can no longer hide behind it.
