Nava expertly explores themes of cultural identity, misunderstandings, and personal growth, while keeping the tone light and engaging with plenty of witty banter. This romance isn’t just about falling in love, it’s about learning who you really are, and whether two people from vastly different worlds can find common ground, especially when they’re both fighting their own personal battles. With Avery’s pop-star persona and Lucas’s rugged cowboy world, their chemistry is undeniable and offers a satisfying mix of tension, humor, and heart. It’s a delightful, sweet story that showcases the importance of staying true to oneself while navigating love and the complexities of identity.

This 2nd book by Danica Nava is as lovely and charming as her debut. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Avery and Lucas. The storyline was interesting and explores important themes of identity, family, community, following your passion. I enjoyed watching Avery grow, determine who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do with life. Secondary characters are great and add depth to the story as well. Only downside is that the pacing felt a little too fast. I would have liked to see slower development of Avery's relationship with Lucas and with her mom & grandmother.

Ridiculously good! I really enjoyed the truth according to ember so I had a feeling that I would love this one as well.

Lucas and Avery were phenomenal and I love their relationship. Avery’s journey was a beautiful one and I can’t wait to read whatever else Danica writes!
