**An ARC of this book was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.**
The summer between junior and senior year, Julieta is
accepted into an elite writing course in New York City — taught by her favorite
author. Having always dreamed of becoming a writer, this mentorship could drastically
shape her future. Add on top of that helping out at her family restaurant and
three potential love interests, and you’ve got the recipe for a great contemporary
romance!
Our Romeos Include:
-Ryan, her rival, and her best friend’s twin brother
-Lucas, her childhood best friend that could be
something more
-Calvin, the new boy next door (or really, Abuela’s
next door neighbor)
When Julieta publishes a writing assignment for class on a Wattpad equivalent, it evolves into a piece being co-written with an anonymous author. A local reference is included and Julieta realizes that they might know each other in real life. Could they be the man of her dreams? Could they be one of her Romeos?? If only she could get them to confess…
Reflecting on her love life predicament with her aunt, one
of the best quotes in the book occurs:
“The question isn’t which boy is right for you. The
question is which boy helps you be the best version of yourself. Or, an even
bigger question, what version of yourself do you want to be, independent of
them all?”
All in all, I quickly got sucked into Julieta’s life and I enjoyed how the plot pulled in her family dynamics and friendship with Ivy on top of the romances. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun contemporary romance, with a lesson in discovering yourself along the way, this is the book for you!
