West Side Love Story
by Priscilla Oliveras
I had been meaning to pick up West Side Love Story for a couple of months now but never got around to it.
Lo and behold, today was the day I was just in the right mood to read a short contemporary romance with substance and this book came to my rescue.
The beginning of the book was a bit slow paced for me because truly I couldn’t figure out wth was happening. Although I am familiar with the tragic Romeo and Juliet, I drew up a complete blank when it came to West Side Story. I am judging this book without ever finding out what retelling it’s supposed to be.
I really liked the Mariachi component and the competition between the main characters. I especially liked the sibling bonding in this one and since they weren’t blood related, it was all the more special to see how supportive and loving they all were towards each other. I was expecting a bit more angst tbh and it’s my fault for assuming it to be a enemies to lovers romance so I enjoyed it lesser than I had hoped to.
But it was indeed a cute story to dive into if you want to read a light hearted romance with a HEA and a diverse cast!
