This second installment about the primas was just as well written, but definitely had a different vibe. This one had fan fiction interspersed with the story and while I know some people loved it, I had trouble connecting.

In spite of many communication issues with basically every character in the book I really did like Gabe. He was far from perfect and had lost himself a little, but at his core he really cared about people and I especially loved how eager he was to help prop with his Physical Therapy.

I have to admit I was a little thrown at how easy this second chance romance came together. I wanted more dialogue between Mich and Gabe. They didn't do much talking.

Another part of the story that felt a little incomplete to me was their sexual orientation. Both admit to being bisexual, but in my opinion it felt like it was thrown in to be inclusive but there was no need for it as it didn't fit with the story line or serve a purpose. I was just a little confused how that added to the story. If that was a part you loved then I'm glad it worked for you.


I still loved the glimpses into the culture of their families and the Spanish throughout the book but I felt like this one lacked substance.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
