I really enjoyed the meet-cute of Nik being proposed to on a jumbotron by a guy she has only been dating for a short time. When she says no, he storms out leaving her with no ride home. Carlos steps in with his sister to help her, before the cameras turn it into a spectacle.
While Nik isn't ready to date after the failed proposal she does start a casual hook-up with Carlos. However they can't help but catch feelings.
At times it had some funny moments but sometimes the writing was a little off.

i absolutely loved this book. jasmine guillory has such a fun writing style and the banter between nik and carlos was just so good! i fell in love with this world and these characters their friends and family reminded me so much of my own. it was funny and light but also had a serious side. the first chapter i found strangely funny, and the ending was so fitting. confessing her love for carlos over a “jumbotron” was a funny ode to the beginning where they first met and i thought it was a great detail. i can’t wait to re read this book in the future and i know ill fall more in love with it.

This was a fun, light read that… made me hungry! Haha- but seriously, the author describes food & eating so much, I wanted a giant plate of risotto, enchiladas, and street tacos!
I loved the diversity of characters in this one- and I really loved the friendship Nik has with her two best friends. Lots of great side plots & drama, and I was really rooting for the love story between Nik & Carlos ♥️
I gave it three stars as it wasn’t a “can’t put down” kind of book- but I did enjoy it overall.
