Dacre and his younger brothers are staying with their mum in Mexico. Since his parents split she lives in Mexico and their dad in Texas which involves frequent travelling. This trip is going to be different. First there's Francisco, their mum's new boyfriend who is 20 years her junior. Then there's Sal.
Sal and her dad own and run an avocado farm. They used to have help in Sal's aunt Matilda but she's recently passed away and they're struggling. Dacre comes by to buy some avocados and Sal offers him a job on the spot, without even knowing his name.
Sal thinks Dacre is a good worker but she's annoyed by his frequent bathroom breaks, down to his diabetes which he hasn't told her about to avoid the inevitable sympathy issues. All that changes when they go on what's supposed to be a 2 day delivery trip together...
I thought this was really cute and I loved how Dacre and Sal's friendship evolved.
