Now Us, Again

Laguna Island #0.75

by Leonor Soliz

Kissing my high school crush goodbye has haunted me for more than a decade. When I return to my hometown, and life throws me right into his arms, it’s like we were never apart.

He has changed, but only in the best ways. He’s bigger, sexier, and gazes at me and my curves like he won’t let me go this time.

Gone is the quiet, lanky boy I fell for during lazy study session in the library. We may be passing notes again but he makes it clear— he wants to take up right where we left off.

We have waited too long for a second kiss. But this may be the chance we never got, to figure out what comes next… if we let ourselves fall at last.

I didn’t love this book but I absolutely loved the fact that the narrator was so darn convincing. She was very girl next door and she had such a good vibe/ flare. I give it 3 1/2 stars because I enjoyed the fact that the romance seemed attainable it wasn’t so far fetched and instant love that it felt believable. I enjoyed that it was a real slow burn with a couple with a past relationship. They haven’t seen each other in over a decade and the chemistry was electric. Bruno and Alissa flirt, write notes and just enjoy each other. When they finally kiss again for the first time since their teen years they link right away.

⭐3.25 🌶️1/5

I enjoyed this sweet romance about destined reunions.

I love how Leonor always writes such mature relationships, with characters who show a lot of emotional intelligence.

But it was too short, and I felt like there were some empty gaps.

Super cute little story about the right time and place.
