This is a second chance romance. I enjoyed this story. Reyna had a problem. Everyone she loves leaves. She loves taking care of her deceased mother's resort and now her father is trying to change it. Her ex boyfriend who left to live in America has returned for an epic birthday celebration with his celebrity friends and since it's at her resort she has to witness his success.

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.kellylovestype's review

Because this is based on Jane Austen, the longing/pining/not actually talking to each other made sense but was frustrating more than it was endearing.
