His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras
4.0
This was a sweet story, a romance where friendship happened in the process of Yaz ans Tómas falling in love. They tried to stay best friends because for awhile it didn’t look like a relationship would work out due to their separate career aspirations. But I never felt like they were making stupid choices — their initial decision made sense.
The side plot, of Yaz’s father having cancer and facing his own mortality, was hard to read but also surprisingly sweet, with how Tómas became involved in the family and was a friend of Yaz’s father as well as her two sisters by the end of the book.
I also loved the focus on dance, as a dancer myself. It was a lovely detail.
This was my first by Oliveras and will not be my last. Book 2 looks promising as well, as it’ll be the story of Rosa, one of Yaz’s two sisters. I read this one as “nightmare antidote” before bed/when awake in the middle of the night, and it was perfect for calming reading.
