This was a cute romance! It wasn’t doing anything epicly mind-blowing, but it was sweet. I enjoyed all of the Cuban cooking and baking- it all felt very familiar! And the setting in England was sweet, as was Lila’s journey to finding herself and her dreams while there.
It was nice to see her recover from a breakup and figure out what that relationship meant and what she wanted from the future. It was also nice to see her learning how to make new friends and rethink how she wants to interact with her old one.
Lila is a strong teen protagonist who goes through a lot of growth and learns how to adapt her goals and dreams to changing circumstances- I think it is a good story for teens! The author perhaps doesn’t entirely know how Instagram works, but I can forgive her 😜.
