"Being so afraid to make a mistake has led me to build a life that's hollow in the places that matter the most."
Mia Sosa did it again! The Wedding Crasher was a hit for me from the first line. I have been waiting for Dean's story and Sosa delivered. I loved that Solange and Dean were imperfect, total opposites and guarded because of similar life experiences. Their love story was a slow burn, from fake dating to sassy and steamy. I could not get enough of their banter and I loved how much they supported each other's goals and grew their friendship first. In true Sosa fashion, the comedic moments had me literally laughing until tears rolled down my face. I'm still thinking about the electrodes and Ginuwine's Pony. The pop culture references added cuteness to the story without making it cheesy.
If there's one thing I love about Sosa's rom-coms is the way she writes characters that you absolutely either fall for or hate instantly. I still want to fight Peter because he was the worst. The shining stars of this one for me were the tías. Everyone needs advice and unconditional support from the backbones of the family. The tías represent everything that is great about close-knit families. An added bonus was the Brazilian food and culture representation and the single mother aspect as a strength and not a defect.
Limitations was a big theme in this and I loved watching Dean and Solange transform personally and learn how to take the take leaps of faith with love and other aspects of their life. Sosa did a great job showing how parent's experiences shape their children's ideas about love. I could go on for days about how much I loved this one. This one released a few days ago, so run and grab yourself a copy. Be prepared for lots of laughter, family and the right amount of spice.
Thanks to @avonbooks @tlcbooktours for the gifted copy. A big thank you to @miasosaromance for sending me a signed copy which I will treasure forever and congratulations on a another fantastic book.
