¿Qué sucede cuando descubres que el final de tu cuento no es como soñabas? - Érase una vez una mujer que lo tenía todo y un chico que no tenía nada. - Érase una vez una historia de amor entre el éxito y la duda. - Érase una vez un cuento perfecto. Elísabet Benavent, @BetaCoqueta, regresa al panorama de la literatura con una novela que explora el significado del éxito en la vida y reflexiona con ironía y humor acerca de las imposiciones sociales, la presión del grupo y la autoexigencia que, aunque cueste creerlo, no es sinónimo de felicidad. Los lectores han dicho...«¡Un libro magnífico. Adictivo! Una historia real, bien escrita. He reído, llorado, suspirado. Elísabet, he leído todos tus libros y, aunque parezca imposible, sigues sorprendiéndome». «Una historia madura que nos hace reflexionar. No es una novela al uso centrada en el amor de pareja, es eso y mucho más». «Leer a Elísabet es entrar en la historia, sentirla y vivirla. Su pluma te atrapa». «Te puede gustar un libro más que otro. Amar a un personaje y odiar a otros... pero siempre tienen algo que te marca y que se queda incrustado en el corazón. ¡Gracias, BetaCoqueta!».
Ellas cuenta una historia de amor sobre las segundas oportunidades en la que se sentirán representados quienes nacieron en la España de los 60 o los 70: los adolescentes de la Transición. Jaime Monzón, tras una vida previsible y gris, marcada por la nostalgia de su primer amor, toma la decisión irrevocable de suicidarse y de hacer partícipe del suicidio a Eme, aquella niña de la que se enamoró un verano del siglo pasado.

Ellas es un álbum de fotos de mujeres cuyas páginas se pasan con manos de niño.
