Digital audio performed by Terry Donnelly
2.5**

Carmen yearns for her “happily ever after,” but for now she has to make do with a summer internship that has her singing in a ball gown as a Disney princess for children’s parties. And now the company has been hired for her cousin Ariana’s over-the-top quinceañera! To make matters worse, her former flame Mauro has been assigned as her new dance partner.

This is a YA novel full of teenaged angst. Sex, drinking, one-upsmanship, family drama, frustrated dreams … all happening in a sultry Miami summer. All I can say is I’m glad I never let my mom give me a quinceañera party!

Terry Donnelly does a pretty good job of voicing the audio version. She sets a good pace and her diction is clear. There were a couple of times when I got confused about who was speaking; there are a lot of female characters.

1.75 stars. i wanted to like this and there were parts that were fine, but overall this was no better than just meh, and could have benefited from being shortened by quite a bit. i mostly didn't care about any of it, as much as i wanted to. there were a couple of good parts and the epilogue was good, but not enough to bump this up a full half star. it's not terrible or anything, just nothing special.

Of three YA rom-coms I read within two weeks, this was my least favorite. Reduction by editing might have helped. Read my full review here.
