Such a good read

“I’d never read any books by this author, so I thought this would be a great way to find a new one. I was so right.
The story takes place mostly in Valencia, Spain. We follow a new divorcee back to her roots to visit extended family and get away from “real life”. While she’s there, she grows closer to her extended family, learns about her past and what happened with her mom, makes some great friends and falls in love… but the love isn’t someone she met for the first time.
While reading, I had to frequently pause and gather myself- because my mother hails from Seville, Spain and her side of the family is there still. While I’ve never been to Valencia, so much of the setting FELT like she was talking about the areas we used to visit when we were able to fly and see our family. The family dinners and the way they talk to each other felt like home. I lost my Abuela a few years ago, so I thought of her frequently throughout the book.

Five stars all the way. 🩷”
