What Stays in Spain by Laurel Chelle
4.0
hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Thank you to SunnyBabePR for my free copy. 

Shira is returning to Terra, Spain for a work trip. Terra was where she spent one summer and fell in love. Then left brokenhearted. And now that she is back she is hoping not to run into Alejandro Leon. But that is not in the stars, and he is more handsome than he was ten years ago. After spending some time together they agree to a no string fling, but can Shira keep her heart safe from the person she once loved?

This was a cute book. Shira was an interesting character and I did kind of connect with her and what she was going through a bit. Some of the side characters did annoy me, but that was fine. I wish there was more with the Leon family. And I think it would have been interesting to have Alex’s POV. Overall a fun, easy, summer read for when you want to travel but can’t.
