I loved, loved, loved When Javi Dumped Mari so much that I wish I could read it again for the first time! Mia Sosa is a gem and I absolutely love her writing. I’ve read a number of her books and honestly her writing just keeps getting better. This book is no exception. It truly had it all - from kick-my-feet laughing moments, scream at the screen moments, and “you better get it” spicy scenes - all culminating to the most satisfying HEA.

Thank you NetGalley, Mia Sosa and GP Putnam Son’s for providing me an e-ARC for this amazing book in exchange for my honest review.

I have been highly anticipating this read and dove right into it when I got the chance to review it. It did not disappoint! Trust me, it is SOOOO good!!

I am so happy that Mia Sosa has returned with another gem! When Javi Dumped Mari is a fresh and playful retelling of When Harry Met Sally that brims with charm, humor, and heart. From the first page, Javi and Mari's story had me hooked, showcasing the razor sharp wit, sizzling chemistry, and emotional depth that Sosa excels at weaving into her rom coms.

The premise is irresistible: Javi, the pining best friend who has waited a decade to confess his feelings, finds himself racing against the clock when Mari announces her engagement to someone else. Mari, on the other hand, is done waiting for Javi and is determined to build a life that aligns with her ambitions. The result? A deliciously messy, slow burn love story that had me laughing one moment and clutching my chest the next.

Sosa's characters are vibrant and layered. Javi is a swoony mix of vulnerability and determination, while Mari is a fierce, independent heroine who knows her worth. Their friendship turned love is packed with heartfelt moments, clever banter, and just the right amount of angst to keep you turning the pages. The "Pedro Pascal knockoff" fiancé adds an amusing layer of tension, while the supporting cast (including meddling friends and family) provides a rich backdrop of humor and wisdom.

Beyond the romance, When Javi Dumped Mari explores themes of self-discovery, loyalty, and the courage it takes to rewrite the script of your life. Sosa skillfully balances the comedy with emotional beats, making this more than just a feel good read—it’s a story that resonates.

Perfect for fans of The Worst Best Man or anyone who loves a second chance romance with high stakes, this book is a must read. Mia Sosa proves once again why she’s a powerhouse in the rom com genre.

Thank you to NetGalley, Mia Sosa, and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the eARC of this book.

This book is a delightful rollercoaster of friendship, love, and hilarious miscommunication. The chemistry between Javi and Mari is chef’s kiss perfect. The slow-burn tension kept me turning pages, and Javi’s hilarious, often awkward attempts to derail Mari’s engagement are everything. The writing is witty and sharp, making it a fun, fast read. If you’re in the mood for a rom-com that mixes heartwarming moments with laugh-out-loud humor, this one will steal your heart (and leave you rooting for a happy ending).
