i really didn’t like the plot twist at the end, it kinda threw off the pace of the book and made me almost regret picking this book up. It’s a well written book, that one part just got on my nerves.

the book was cute.

A cute YA romance that’s also a lot about figuring out your path and choosing who you want to be. This book is also definitely about friendship and seeing the good we have right in front of us. I loved the setting of the small-town Argentinian restaurant and family. The author kept me guessing almost to the end in regards to the various “Romeos” in Julieta’s life. Also, as a writer this book spoke to me thru Jules’ writing workshop.

“I was not the most talented one. I was the one who never gave up.”

Well that was adorable! Thank you so much to BookSparks and Balzer & Bray for the gifted copy.

This was one of my favorite YA romances I've read. It was unique, funny, thoughtful, inspiring, and emotional. It had me hooked from the beginning and I liked Julieta immediately. I just know for a fact that if I read this is middle/high school I would have LOVED IT!

Read If You Like:
-YA Romance (Younger YA - 12/13+)
-Mystery & Romance Plot
-Multiple Potential Love Interests (So well done!)
-Best Friend's Brother, Childhood Friends, Rivals to Lovers (Not really lovers since this is YA)
-Stories About Writing/Writers
-Stories About Family Dynamics, Growth, Coming of Age, Friend Relationships

Audiobook Review: I LOOOOVEDDD THE AUDIOBOOK! Elisa Meléndez did SUCH a spectacular job and her narration really added to the depth and beauty of the story. I highly recommend listening to this story if that's ab option for you.

Overall, this was wonderful and I will absolutely recommend for those who enjoy younger YA and to parents who have children in middle/high school.
