West Side Love Story
by Priscilla Oliveras
Okay. WOW!
This was an absolutely swoony and delicious love story that is so rich with culture and family values, with subtle nods to Romeo & Juliet and West Side Story.
Angelo and Mariana are such incredible, capable and STRONG main characters. They’re the support for each other that strong people usually deny but always need, and I LOVE that they had each other. Their chemistry was adorable and I never stopped rooting for them.
This story was so RICH in Mexican culture and family values. It was such an interesting read in that respect. I loved learning about the culture and the community. The Capuletas created a family and instilled this deep sense of belonging and familial pride in the girls that was honestly EVERYTHING. *I* wanted to be a Capuleta after reading this!
I’m a giant theatre nerd, so I LOVED the little added references to West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet. They were subtle, but enough for me to notice and appreciate!
