5/5 stars
2/5 spice

Tropes:
Best Friends to lovers 
Marriage of Convenience 
Close proximity 
Gay awakening
LGBTQIA rep 
Latinx MCs and culture
Trauma/healing 
Dual POV 

Just... all the feels. 
My rollercoaster of emotions was chaotic. I honestly went from anger to giddiness to "holy moly that was hot" to sweetness and then back to anger. I was ready to jump in the book and fight. But honestly this was such a great balance of real life and happy romance. I couldn't put it down and I really enjoyed getting to know these characters. Han and Kenny were just the best of friends and easily the sweetest couple. I was crying at their happy ending. Just... all the feels.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for all fans of LGBTQIA romance, MM romance, diverse characters, romances with heavy topics, and drag shows. Please read the trigger and content warnings before starting this book. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own and offered voluntarily.

Honestly a bit heavier than I was anticipating, a lot of heavy topics, such as:

biphobia, death of a parent, child neglect, substance abuse, undocumented status, anxiety attacks, abusive partners

In that sense, with so much drama and intense things going on, the relationship didn’t get the time I think it deserved. 
But props for making Han have his gay crisis before the engagement bc if he was faking all of it, I would have DNF’ed.
Jackie, you villainous bitch, I hope you’re rotting in book hell somewhere.
