A modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, with a Tejano and mariachi twist. I loved the Latine representation in this book, especially with the interweaving of mariachi culture and music into the storyline. I could practically hear the gritos in the background as I followed Mariana and Angelo's journey.

I recommend this for the romance readers out there looking to diversify their authors and representation in their books!
