A new favorite for me! ❤️
These two are such lover boys, and so lusty!
Ugh, where to even start with this one. This follows Gabi Piña, a Mexican football (soccer if you must) star in the making and Vale, a philosophy major who happens to end up tutoring him in Philosophy.
Gabi thinks he has his life all in order and planned out. He knows who he is and is comfortable in that. So he sometimes thinks about a guy or enjoys a kiss with one. He's straight.... right? Well, we get to follow Gabi's journey of awareness, acceptance, and coming out. Jonny managed to make this hilarious, heartfelt, emotional, and fun all in one book.
Vale was just such a sweetheart and painfully obvious 😅 He truly was the best! He was so supportive and kind and I wanted to give him the biggest hug.
The side characters in this book were all so well written and presented. Their personalities and their roles in the story just blended so seamlessly.
The writing in this book brought me so much comfort! We get some Spanish and Mexican way of speaking that just brought me joy to read in a book. 🇲🇽❤️
Obviously, 5 juicy stars from me! Please add this to your TBR immediately!
