“Five Stars! A definite re-read!”

In the words of Ariana, “Five Stars! A definite re-read!” As usual, this is another excellent book by Melissa Brayden. I’ve been reading her books since, “Waiting in the Wings” and my all time favorite book and character of hers is “Heart Block” and Sarah Matamoros. Well written women of color are hard to come by in any genre. But as a Chicana, I can say Sarah was one of the most authentic Mexican women characters written, especially by a non-Mexican. By this I also mean, in part, that I didn’t cringe once throughout the book. The same is true with Max in this book. Yes, her Filipino culture informed her character, but it didn’t rely on lazy stereotypes. Such a good read! :-)

Little Disappointing

Melissa Brayden is one of my favorite authors. This one fell short for me. Although the characters of Ella & Max were well defined, there was just too much focus on their relationship. There could have been more to the story - too much of the story was love scenes between Ella and Max. I would have liked to have seen more attention given to developing more of Rachel's reaction to Ella dating Max, the characters of the book club, and even the bookstore itself. For me, it was just too focused on the love scenes, not enough substance outside of that.
