Once Upon a Quinceañera by Monica Gomez-Hira

4.0

This was a such a cute book! I did something I rarely do and actually listened to it instead of physically read it ( I have a thing about that I’ll get into another time) and I’m so glad I did. Carmen is written like a typical 17/18 year old girl and it felt like listening to a friend vent then reading a YA book. There are also lessons about tradition, hard work, believing in yourself and forgiveness—but it doesn’t come across preachy. If you need a fluffy read that has a solid base this is it.
