Once Upon a Quinceañera
Once Upon a Quinceañera | Monica Gomez-Hira
14 posts | 6 read | 12 to read
Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Jane the Virgin, this immediately accessible and irresistibly fun #ownvoices rom-com debut will spin readers into an unforgettable summer of late-night dancing, broken hearts, second chances, and telenovela twists. Carmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Except apparently "happily ever after" for Carmen involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship. Now she has to perform as a party princess! In a ball gown. During the summer. In Miami. Fine. Except that's only the first misfortune in what's turning out to a summer of Utter Disaster. But if Carmen can manage dancing in the blistering heat, fending off an oh-so-unfortunately attractive ex, and stopping her spoiled cousin from ruining her own quinceañera--Carmen might just get that happily ever after--after all.

This was a fun and surprising read. I really enjoyed reading this book, I found I could relate a lot with the main character. It really helped me to look at my life with a new perspective. â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸

Mehso-so

Of three YA rom-coms I read within two weeks, this was my least favorite. Reduction by editing might have helped. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#once-upon-a-quinceaera

Looking forward to finishing this today at work ? I go through audio books so fast because I can listen at work, that I often forget to post a "current read/listen" about 'em cuz by the time I get around to it, I've moved on to others ?

Sweet, fun YA about growing up, loving yourself, falling in love, and forgiving imperfection, with lots of quince drama thrown in for good measure. The narrator is great too!

Carmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true this summer. Unfortunately the party company she is interning at is hired for her estranged cousins quinceañera.

This book was everything. I really enjoyed the evolution of Carmen and the people around her. I wasn‘t expecting the story to touch on some heavy topics but they just made the story more.

That-Bookish-Hiker @CaliforniaCay @MyNamesParadise it was so hard to choose which one to read next cause those two are also two of three of my most anticipated books for this year. I ended up starting the tagged book. 😠4y
