West Side Love Story by Priscilla Oliveras
3.0
It's always exciting to read a retelling of a classic. This book was a fun retelling of Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story.
The tropes present were:
- Forbidden love
- Forced proximity
I loved this idea of having competing and rival Mariachi bands. I liked the picture the author painted of the culture and the importance of their heritage. It helped me to really see the story and what it would be like if I was really there watching the Battle of the Mariachi Bands.
