I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I haven't read the first book in this series, but this one is cute! It was refreshing to read some of the themes Alana Quintana Albertson covers in this book--traditional vs. more progressive Mexican American families; the different concepts of independence in relationships; gender roles and dynamics; etc. I also enjoyed Carolina as a protagonist, someone who owns her own business and doesn't need to be in a relationship to define herself. I liked Enrique overall but felt like he's depicted as more controlling toward the end. Overall, I wanted more from the writing too--there's a lot of telling rather than depicting, which might be a symptom of wanting to convey as many ideas and opinions as possible in the story.
