First, this book was amazing. Lila is every teenage girl’s character, learning how to recover a heartbreak, losing a friend, and the loss of a loved one (the trifecta). When Lila spends the summer in England, in hopes to face her emotions, she ends up meeting Orion, a guy with possibilities to heal her. Such a cute love story between these two and how much they have endured in their short lives. Second point, if you are Latin, you will love every second. Being Cuban-American, I could relate with Lila on so many levels. The loss of an abuela, I love what was said that ‘parents raise the child but her abuela grew her’. The food mentions were mouthwatering...wishing I was back in Miami visiting the local bakery for all the delicacies. I highly recommend this book for all YA readers who want to a little romance but a whole lot of culture.

This was a heartwarming story about how loss can change the course of a life. It was funny, sweet, and had a Water Like Chocolate feel. The character development was perfect - they grew without losing individuality.
