Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent multiracial rom com. Lena is a spunky, Brazilian wedding planner that gets the chance of lifetime when she's offered the chance to run the wedding department at a prestigious hotel. Only catch is she has team up with her ex fiance's brother who caused her fiance to jilt her at the altar. The author creates funny scenes and we naturally come to like both Max and Lena.
The only thing that I thought was a bit over done was how often they spoke about what happened. They can't seem to move on from the past. Other than that enjoyable and refreshing.

I really did enjoy this book. The writing was good and I liked the story. I feel like there was too much of the dialect of Lina’s language that is not always understandable to the reader. Overall I would give it 3.5 stars. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC.

I started reading this when I received access (today) and I didn't stop until I finished it. Meaning I didn't do what I was supposed to be doing all day.

I loved the imperfect heroine and hero (Lina and Max). Especially the heroine. I loved Lina and her family. The relationships rang true and was told through the lens of "own voices". The authenticity of lived experiences came through in spades.

Max's struggles to find his way out of his brother's shadow was done well not weighted down by too much angst. His mother and brother were not portrayed as cartoonist mustache twirling evil, rather as flawed people who do recognize their faults.

I loved the scene on the roof with Lina's mom and aunt providing some comic relief.

This was an extremely charming read. Bravo!
