West Side Love Story

So good! This is a modern day blend of Romeo + Juliet and West Side Story. I love that it's about dueling mariachi bands of two families that have a long sated hated for each other.
Mariana and her sisters are so ready to prove that an all female band of mariachis CAN and SHOULD be allowed to be. But when Mariana accidently kisses a man, Angelo, unknowingly from the family her father has a feud with; she knows she about to be in trouble. He can't distract from her plan for her family's band to win the mariachi competition to help save their business and pride of their community.
Mariana is such a caring person. I loved her passion for her family, her job as a nurse, and as a musician. I loved that Angelo could see the wrongness of this feud and the pain it causes seeing the way his uncle acts. I see his love for his sister and know that he can give her the best life from under their uncle's thumb.
The Capuleta sisters and their adoptive parents are such a wonderful family. I love the support they give and the help they give to all they can!
