This anthology was like a sexy, but warm hug. It is a latine inspired Love Actually story (I don’t remember the movie so I’m going to say this was so much better) and it follows 9 budding relationships in the month before Nochebuena.
I loved every story in this book, there was not a single bad one. I feel like this could be a book I read every December because it was just so good.
There was a trope for everyone but I feel like the main thread was found family. Plus it was spicy and queer! There were couples and throuples. It was warm and heartfelt and I felt it really captured the essence of why I love the Christmas Season.
But my favorite thing was the way the story was written. It felt cohesive even though it was written by different authors because the storyline and the goal were the same while following different couples. And as I got toward the end, I was worried we wouldn’t see Nochebuena but we did and got to see all the characters in many facets of life enjoy the magic of the season together on Nochebuena!
And the audiobook was done so well! The narrators were great at creating voices for each of their characters! I definitely recommend a tandem read of the audiobook and a print version (ebook or physical).
