I really enjoyed this book! There were so many fantastic elements and I really love these characters. Las Leonas are so badass and amazing! You just want to be friends with all of them - and I'm jealous of this amazing friendship that they have together. They are so supportive of each other!
I loved this book about Manuela and figuring out what she wants for herself and her life. This is such a fantastic sapphic romance, and on top of that, this idea of subverting the social rules/ expectations is so prevalent in these books. I adore it. Seeing these strong women take hold of their lives, thwarting what is expected of them to find true happiness. Knowing that this was not an option for so many people in reality, but that there were some who lived their lives similar to these stories.
I highly recommend for a diverse sapphic romance!

Adriana Herrera’s books are top tier. This is a brilliant queer historical romance and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear about Manuela’s story. The latine culture and history within these books are absolutely gorgeous, and truly they have been a wonderful addition to my library. Brava! Absolutely incredible. I’m pretty much speechless.
