Once Upon a Quinceañera by Monica Gomez-Hira
5.0
Thank you so much for @harper360ya for the ARC through @this_is_edelweiss
.
I have fallen in love with contemporary- contemporary-romance reads representing the Latinx heritage! So I was extremely happy to start UOAQ and felt throughout the whole book that I am part of Carmen’s big family, her Cuban heritage and that I am still learning a lot!
.
This story had a beautiful representation of “growing-up” and growing into a better version of ourselves, leaving the hurtful/ unrighteous events in the past. It was about self-acceptance and second-chances. It was about family, drama, Miami heat, summer and a lot of dance: the story painted by life itself.
.
Carmen was a relatable young adult with the life-long quest: outruning the mistakes of the past and making her own happily ever after. I loved her whole messy relationship with her cousin and her second-chance romance.
.
Monica has such a beautiful, easily understandable story telling that I was immediately entrapped. The family dinamics, the drama, the shiney Miami and the humor were all the elements that made my reading experience even more special.
