American Dreamer by Adriana Herrera
5.0
4.5 I really enjoyed Nesto and Jude. I felt they had a lot of nuance in their story without ever being stereotypes.
Nesto decided to move from NYC to Ithica, not only to bring Caribbean food to the suburbs, really try his own brand, but to be near his mom. He knows he’s got the skills, he’s just hoping and working his ass off to make his dream a reality.
Jude moved go Ithica 3 years ago as a librarian. He’s also got dreams, of bringing books to the outer city in his new mobile library. One day he and his best friend go to the new food truck and Jude is mesmerized.
The two men are love at first sight, like deep. However, Jude’s been burned a lot from people he thought loved him and he’s skittish. Nesto is thirsty from the beginning, but realized early on Jude’s not a one night man. Nesto also realizes while Jude may be an amazing man, he won’t be second nor will he demand to be first priority. And I really liked that aspect about these two. They try to be perfect and when they’re not, they reevaluate what they’re doing.
I enjoyed this way more than I anticipated. Highly suggest. These men are so wonderful. Plus, the food truck sounds beyond delicious.
