Salty, Bitter, Sweet by Mayra Cuevas

4.0

This book is so sweet it really just feels like a hug, especially the ending. Never let it be said I’m not a sucker for a happy ending.

The book was definitely an adventure, and it is definitely shown through the title. Isabella’s character development is so awesome!

The other characters are great as well, just not as complex as her (which makes sense… she’s the main character). The ways the different characters are shown throughout the story really complete it.

The writing style in itself isn’t unique except the flashbacks really add more depth to the story and Isa’s choices. And also, it’s marketed as a “slow-burn” but really, she hates him, and then she accepts his presence and starts to like him over the span of a few chapters. If you’re looking for a true slow-burn, wouldn’t recommend this one.

Honestly, my only complaint about this book is that I feel like it wasn’t long enough to be realistic. But that just bothered me after reading it. Immediately after I finished, I loved it nonetheless.

Overall, sweet book with an endearing story and loveable characters. Average writing, and my only complaint is it wasn’t “long enough” to be realistic. Would recommend, even to get you out of a reading slump, and would reread.
