walkitoutApparently back in 2017, I read the first book in this trilogy and I’ve read other connected novels by this author as well. This is one of those, they know each other from being side characters in earlier books, and start out hooking up as a one-and-done, and then the balance of the book is them getting to know each other better. So kinda of a second-chance novel, kind of a forced proximity novel.
It’s fun. The characters both have divorced parents and while both were born and grew up on the mainland, they have a parent or parents who are from Puerto Rico. Lots of food, and dance and other things associated with Puerto Rico, which is part of what attracted me to this author in the first place. I like to “get to know” a place that I’ve never been via books. This one is set primarily in LA (altho there’s just a smidge in Connect the Dots, mostly near Bradley).
He teaches a community oriented self defense class at Tori’s studio. She’s teaching Advanced Zumba at Tori’s studio. His boss suggests she look into the stunt class taught by him. There’s complicated stuff between each of the mains and their fathers. There’s lots of lovely physical description (of the dance / exercise class, of the stunt class, of dancing at a community festival). There’s some pretty sophisticated depiction of neurodiversity and compensation. It was enjoyable, and is a lot of what I expect from a Mia Sosa novel.
Because so much time has passed between my first read in this series and now, I was able to get this one via kindleunlimited. Kindleunlimited has been absolutely huge for getting me reading genre fiction again (as always, SBTB helped, too!).
