This was a lovely little romance that checked all the boxes. Beware that although the author has written YA previously and the cover kinda looks YA, this an adult novel and it is a bit spicy, definitely too much for some people's kids. And by that, I mean some adults I know. ;)
Things I loved: queer rep, anxiety rep, found family, PNW setting, Mexican heritage, the food 🤌🏻😘
Things I didn't love: oh look more miscommunication trope, 3rd act breakup with bf, BFF, and Gma tooooo much! my emotions! can't handle the pain!, another shitty mom, a 30 year old who doesn't know how to cook anything besides Mac and cheese.
Anywho, it was overall really good and I wish I could remember who recommended it so I could thank them but anyway. Read this if you listened to Panic! At the Disco back in the day and if you listen to Noah Kahan now.
