I really enjoyed this! I liked the inspiration from Persuasion. It definitely has its differences, so don't expect a retelling. I liked the characters - I admit I liked the side characters a bit more, and I want more of a story on Fish who somehow became my favourite character?! Some of the decisions were frustrating and reasons, but I get them at the same time. And the ending was wrapped up nicely and cute! It felt like a good summer read!

This book was such a good one to read in Cuba. I didn’t think these were characters I would get attached to, but I found myself rooting for them regardless. There were points where the story lulled a bit, and I have to admit I got a bit annoyed with Reyna a few times, but overall she was very good to read about. I loved the side characters a lot, and the main romance of the story was really sweet. I read this book in two days, but it definitely could have been read in one. Overall, just a fast, easy, and enjoyable read.

Mix of coming of age and romance. Very sweet. Great on audio. Closed door.

I wouldn’t call it abusive, but the mother daughter relationship in this book is not healthy at all and could potentially be very painful for some to read about.
