REVIEW
When I started this story I felt like I was lost, but as the story went on I was like, hectic🤦♀️
Nadia thinks her life is going amazing. She's just finished her third year of college and shes ready to start her life. Until the night of her birthday and her whole world just came crashing down...
She decides yo go their family lake house and just try to regain some semblance of normal again.
At the lake house she connects with Manny and his daughter Catalina... soon she starts to have feelings for him and she is already inlove with his daughter. And then it feels like fate just wants to be cruel...
I enjoyed the story. I love a good romantic story with a twist thrown in that will make you go WTH... This one had me going, but I felt it was a bit slow thr pace could have been a bit faster. Other than that, characters were great, the story, loved it and small town romance, sign me up😊💖
If you love that the I totally recommend💖
