1.0

I was really looking forward to this, the synopsis, the cover made it look like this would be a magical book. The focus was not the magic flowers, if anything they took a backseat as soon as the two MCs met. All the focus was on the love story but both characters were really boring. I felt all the characters in this book were flat and one dimensional, I didn't care about any of them. All the events felt so surface level too. My reasoning for say the cast of characters being diverse is complicated because they were barely introduced and left immediately, I thought the family would be there and involved. I can't remember anything about them.

Also the setting could have been anywhere. There was nothing that made this feel like it took place in Mexico and that's something I was looking forward to as a Mexican.

1 star because I was looking forward to the book ending just I could count it for my reading prompts.
