Don't Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno
4.0
4.5* This was such a delight.
Truly the perfect springtime rom-com.
It truly had everything you could want from a cute contemporary with depth. It's got fantastic friendships, a gorgeous slow(ish) burn romance, the most adorably soft baker/sailor hufflepuff, complex but heart warming family dynamics, the most wonderfully descriptive oceanside town setting, nuanced discussions about diaspora and the YUMMIEST sounding food.
I absolutely adored Nina's writing style. It was easy flowing, comfortable to read and so natural. Rosa's voice was distinctive in that she was her own person but she also felt real and familiar. I can't wait to read whatever Nina brings out in the future because if this is anything to go by, I have a feeling she's going to become an auto-buy author in no time.
