WoW: Once Upon a Quinceañera by Monica Gomez-Hira

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

Once Upon a Quinceañera

Jenny Han meets “Jane the Virgin” in this flashy and fun Own Voices romcom from debut author Monica Gomez-Hira.

Carmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Except apparently “happily ever after” for Carmen involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship! All she has to do is perform! In a ball gown! During the summer. In Miami.

Fine. Except that Carmen’s company is hired for her spoiled cousin Ariana’s over the top quinceañera.

And of course, her new dance partner at work is none other than Mauro Reyes, Carmen’s most deeply regrettable ex.

If Carmen is going to move into the future she wants, she needs to leave the past behind. And if she can manage dancing in the blistering heat, fending off Mauro’s texts, and stopping Ariana from ruining her own quinceañera Carmen might just get that happily ever after after all.

Why I’m Waiting: I am LIVING for these #ownvoices rom coms that are coming out next year! And I don’t think I’ve ever read a book about quinces, so this is SUCH a treat! And the cover is super cute too! I LOVE the cake and the tagline that says, “Make your Own Happy Ending.” Everything about this sounds amazing, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

What about you? Will you be adding this to your TBR? Will you be reading this with me? Let me know in the comments!
