4.0

In this quick and captivating read, we're introduced to Corina Beltran, a hardworking and underappreciated individual yearning for a carefree evening among friends. The prospect of connecting with a man at the bar adds allure to her farewell to the town. Enter Zak Dudek, a retiring reservist seeking a simple escape with a beer. Their unexpected encounter ignites both awkwardness and attraction. The protagonists' contrasting traits, Corina's vitality and Zak's reticence, create an intriguing interplay. While their dance around each other occasionally feels prolonged, the narrative maintains momentum through well-crafted dialogue and cultural infusion. Though the book falters slightly with its abrupt climax, it remains a captivating short love story worthy of reading.
