Oliveras has a real talent for writing realistic and relatable Latinx RomComs. Not only are her romance and comedy parts fantastic, but her side characters in the form of two sets Latinx familias are perfect. I love the close knit familia bonds especially with the siblings.
The romance in this part "second chance" and at least in my opinion part "enemies to lovers" is full of angst, chemistry, and heat. I love how she writes intimate scenes that push the bounds of closed door just a little but don't get overly explicit (though some conservative readers might think so). The passion between Ale and AM is evident and keeps you turning the pages to see if it will work out or crash and burn.
The setting of Key West in this book makes you wish you were there. You can practically smell the ocean and see the flowers. Not to mention all the food described makes you wish you were eating at Miranda's.
I loved the character growth in this book. Truly it was special to watch both Ale and AM learn some important lessons. There were some really special moments that touched my heart.
I've loved every book Oliveras has written and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
