California - December 21, 2023 - What happens when what was built to last forever will be demolished in just 180 days? In his debut novel, 180 Days, screenwriter Alfredo Botello weaves a captivating narrative that transcends the traditional bounds of a love story. This novel, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Bay Area, takes readers on a cinematic journey through the complexities of relationships, the pursuit of artistic greatness, and the quest for self-validation.
180 Days centers around Tomas Araeta, an aspiring architect on the verge of adopting a child with his wife Naomi Curran. The story unfolds when Tomas, caught in a moment of weakness, engages in a one-afternoon stand with a client, shattering the foundation of his marriage.
Naomi files for divorce. But at the courthouse they learn there’s a loophole – “the cooling off period” - California mandates a six month waiting period before any divorce can be finalized.
The clock is ticking: Tomas has 180 days to win back Naomi’s heart.
This novel is not merely about infidelity, however; it's a universal exploration of the human quest for meaning and validation. Through Tomas and Naomi's struggles, readers are invited to reflect on the nature of fulfillment, the impact of external validation and rejection, and the consequences of seeking solace in the wrong places.
Talking Points and Hooks: 180 Days is perfect for lovers of architecture and design, offering a unique perspective on how architectural principles mirror our understanding of human relationships.
The novel's infusion of punk rock elements adds an edgy and distinctive flavor to the traditional love story, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre.

The ticking clock of the 180-day timeline introduces a sense of urgency, creating a high-speed emotional thrill ride that keeps readers engaged from start to finish.
Readers interested in San Francisco and the East Bay will appreciate the novel's vivid portrayal of the region, adding an extra layer of resonance and authenticity to the story.
