A review by nickcarravay
American Dreamer by Adriana Herrera

4.0

Adriana Herrera writes a steamy sex scene! So for those of you underprepared for that, get a fan and a cold towel, because this one has some scorchers.

Nesto and Jude are complex thoughtful three-dimensional characters that made me want to immediately eat some Afro-Caribbean food (must find this food truck NOW!) and reach for the second book in this series.

I liked these people, the way they react to the world, how they give each other chances to apologize and correct behaviors. I like books with a reasonable confrontation and resolution, considering that the book is about adults.

It even made me say "Ithaca sounds nice". (I've been to Ithaca and it did not feel as special as what I read).

Thank you Adriana Herrera for these people and a glimpse into their lives.
