A review by a_chickletz
Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton

5.0

I decided to give this book a shot because due to the high reviews it got, the time period and. well, it's something normally outside my normal realm of reads.

I'm glad I did - it was a book that was beautiful, heartbreaking, touching, and powerful all in one. I like that the author who wrote the book was inspired by her own heritage and the current standing of Cuba and the US.

The men - the men of the book are handsome and I can't be the only person who was thinking that the narrator's man reminded me of a scruffy Josh Groban (only Cuban!). The narrator's grandmother, man, she had a dish of a guy who was tall, with longer than normal hair and gorgeous hands. I'll hush before I start turning this review into a gush about the pretty boys.

Anyway. I was thrilled to find out this book had a sequel. I will totally give it a read.

I recommend for anybody who enjoys historical reads, romances, chic lit fiction.
