In this YA romcom, Puerto Rican perfectionist Alany Delgado vows to put her tragic past behind her and go to college loan-free, which comes to a screeching halt when her ex-childhood best friend shows up on the same wacky scholarship contest-circuit as her, dredging up old memories (as well as new feelings) that threaten to disrupt her future, her relationship, and her carefully curated life plan.
Elba Luz is a lover of stories, whether in the form of anime, manga, video games, or, of course, books. A failed astrophysicist turned publishing professional in New York City, she can be found annoying people with facts about space or lounging about with her adorable pit bull Stormy. She writes romance for adults and teens.
Elba’s writing pulls you in so fast that you don’t even realize you’re reading a novel. Instead, it feels like a whirlwind of your life because you feel like you’re the main character. Or reading about your best friend. Or someone you want to know. Because Elba knows how to craft the most realistic voice that everything sticks with you even months after reading. I already know that this is my next favorite novel that I will never shut up about and I can’t wait to hold my own copy one day <3
