A Lot Like Adiós by Alexis Daria

lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

A friends-to-lovers romance with second chance mixed in. I loved it. I don't want to compare it to the first book in the Primas of Power series as it is a standalone (with cameos of characters from the first book),  however, I did enjoy this one more than the first. The romantic build-up felt more genuine with memories from the past and the characters figuring out how they fit together now after so many years apart. There is a lot of focus on Gabe's development which I thoroughly enjoyed as we see him attempt to understand and handle family complications (and their consequences) from long ago. The inclusion of Gabe and Michelle's messenger chats from when they were teens, while brief, was great in showcasing how easily the characters connect and bounce off each other. I love it and I was happy-crying for them towards the end.
