I think most of this book was five star for me, so mucc of it was so good and the conversations and characters were so realistic. However I listened to the audiobook and I don’t speak Spanish. So when the author did not provide translations, which was most of the time, I worried I might miss something important. 

Then the ending… The third act break up was awful. These two have a LOT of problems to work through individually and together if the way they talked to each other was any indication. The MMC’s fear of letting anyone close and his hurtful way of pushing Camila away over and over made him an unlikable main character for me. I like when book boyfriends are able to admit that they’re in love. In the author forgot to address the fight Camilla had with her friend before the end of the book. 

I’m definitely going to read the next in the series, and even though I loved the narrator, I might have to read the ebook this time so I can look up translations.

This book made me so hungry! All the food sounded delicious, even with all the whiskey that I don’t drink. I loved Liam and Kamilah, even with the issues they had. I wish we would’ve gotten a bit more of a grovel, but I really liked the whole story. Several moments made me tear up, and I love her whole family! I’m happy to have finally read this book.

Five stars almost solely for the audiobook, where the narrator pulls off both the Puerto Rico accents and the Scottish with ease! But also Booktok is sleeping on this one!! The PERFECT blend of humor, love and family, with a third act conflict that makes sense AND the acknowledgement that both MCs have work to do on themselves separate from their relationship!! Camilla is such a joy of a main character, and her unbridled enthusiasm is balanced well with Liam's held back nature and the themes of how self sacrifice for family can be damaging is done so well. Again, I can't recommend the audiobook for this one enough, it's short and sweet and will make you cry just a little
