I really liked both main characters a lot — I cared about them and understood their struggles, and I cheered for them to come together. They both have big complicated families, and I LOVE books about big complicated families. The serious issues aren't downplayed, but they also don't take away from the romance. The author has a real talent for weaving serious topics, like eating disorders into the story without overwhelming the romance. I loved all of the Cuban cultural references from the Spanish language to the food and the Key West setting is vibrant and dramatic. This is a quick, romance with interesting characters and a beautiful setting that will take you to Key West through its pages.
