One breath. And one shot that changes everything.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnder Bologna's endless porticoes, Luca runs a small bookshop that smells of paper, coffee, and second chances. It's a quiet life built on small rituals: opening the shutters, recommending the right novel to the right stranger, believing that love can be lived in the everyday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Dario gets transferred to Milan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a city of neon, speed, and duty, Dario is a police detective trying to stay upright between night shifts, pressure, and the invisible weight of being a father. The distance between Milan and Bologna turns their relationship into a calendar of postponed moments: unsent messages, calls cut short, weekends that don't happen. Luca remains in Bologna, surrounded by stories that feel easier to hold than his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Matteo, Dario's teenage son, begins drifting into Luca's orbit, something shifts. The distance is no longer only between two men, but between roles and responsibilities: father and son, lover and partner, the life you chose and the life that keeps choosing you back. What starts as a fragile connection becomes a lifeline made of shared meals, hesitant honesty, and the courage to show up when it would be easier to disappear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the cities don't let them breathe for long. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA pattern of precise robberies resurfaces - clean, methodical, almost surgical - echoing a hit in Bologna and pulling Dario into an investigation that spreads through Milan like a bruise. Alongside Elena Ferri, a sharp, instinctive colleague, Dario follows a trail of details that never quite add up: stolen jewelry, quiet entrances, vanishing shadows, a third presence always one step ahead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe case accelerates into a rain-soaked chase, a split-second decision, and a single gunshot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter that, everything becomes sirens, corridors, phone calls - and a code word that makes the world tilt: \u003cb\u003ecode red\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt's Not Sunday Anymore\u003c\/i\u003e is contemporary fiction with the tension of a thriller and the intimacy of a love story: a novel about distance, loyalty, family, and the thin line between what we lose - and what we can still keep. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for readers who love: \u003c\/b\u003e emotionally driven contemporary fiction, LGBTQ+ romance, Italian settings (Bologna and Milan), and suspense that tightens quietly - until it breaks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimone Bianchini \u003c\/b\u003ewrites stories where place, people, and emotion collide, blending lyrical intimacy with the urgency of real life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Bianchini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798246384626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Simone Bianchini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997494980863,"sku":"9798246384626","price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/its-not-sunday-anymore-simone-bianchini-9798246384626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
