I loved this one so much 🥺 I expected to enjoy it but it exceeded my expectations! It made me feel a lot like Fifteen Hundred Miles From The Sun did and that is a huge compliment because I adore that book! The whole concept of a queerceañera is so beautiful and I loved getting to see Joaquin be so loved and celebrated! I also really really loved the progression between Joaquin & Felix! Them being childhood friends to estranged to fake dating to friends to lovers just transitioned so smoothly (even though there were a lot of emotions along the way) and I was just fully invested in the all the way through! I also really really loved April & her friendship with Joaquin! As a fellow aroace, her being insecure about the future of her friendships because of them getting into relationships/starting families and leaving her behind was so relatable and I loved that Joaquin understood that she needed reassurance from him! Also really loved Joaquin’s sister and dad!! Just a very wonderful queer coming of age story that I very much recommend!! ♥️
