This is a cute and enjoyable romance that also deals with social justice, immigration, finding your own place in the world, and recovering from an abusive family. The two leads are a fun pair, and their banter and chemistry is believable. The sexy scenes and thoughts are mostly pretty hot. I love all of the larger ensemble cast as well. I also enjoyed how much Spanish was included. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators both did an excellent job. Overall, although the book touches on some heavier subjects (and the parts that include a verbally abusive parent are really quite chilling,) it was a fairly lighthearted read that was sweet and enjoyable.
