by J C Cervantes, J.C. Cervantes, Jennifer Cervantes

Book Overview

"I dare anyone to read this book without a ginormous grin on their faces. Warmth, humor and enchantments burst off the page, and the colorful characters of the Granados family crackle to life with Cervantes's signature wit, aching empathy and enviable flair for whimsy." --Roshani Chokshi, NYT bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves trilogy.

Love it

To start off I love the cover it's very pretty. Ava's Nana dying was very sad and how she was late to recieve her blessing and it sent out to someone else. How Ava's mom left her when she was younger was sad. I don't understand how people can do this to their own kid. Quote "Nana spoke your blessing at exactly 8:51." Ava not knowing her blessing is sad. Quote "Meteors, Stars, 8:51. Collision. And hummingbird." Her grandma said this when Ava was in the accident making her late for her blessing which lead me to think something was up when this happened. I'm including this because it's important part of this story. It had me hooked hooked at this part. The day following her grandmas death especially her funeral must have been hard. It gave me flash backs to my grandmas funeral. When her sister said she's the family serial dater though it lightened up the mood. Ava seeing her Nana's ghost was scary at first and what her fate might be if they don't get Ava's blessing back. Her loosing her memory over this mistake is just not ok. In the story they go after the person who accidentally got the blessing and have to get it back by August 16th on the evening of a meteor shower or Nana looses her memories and the girls can no longer pass blessings onto their daughters. I personally think the guy who she got into accident with is the one. But you'll need to read to find out. This book was very intense, interesting and emotional. I loved the pace of it. I definitely recommend this one I give it a 4.5/5 stars and I'd definitely reread. Do I reccomend? 100% yes

Really fun

In Ava’s family, when the matriarch dies she leaves her family with blessings. Ava has always known this will happen for her and her sisters when their beloved Nana passes away. Every time it seems like the end, Ava rushes to her Nana’s side. If Ava and her sisters aren’t at their Nana’s deathbed they will not get their blessing. Ava rushes home in a storm and crashes into someone. Everyone is ok and she gets home just in time to say goodbye to Nana, but she misses her blessing. It turns out Nana tried to send the blessing to Ava and it got crossed up with the guy whose car she hit. After Nana passes away, she comes back to visit Ava. She tells her that in order for her (Nana that is) to pass on to Heaven, Ava has to get her blessing back. Now Ava has to identify and track down the stranger whose car she hit. She does find him, rather quickly, but getting her blessing back isn’t as easy as expected. I thought this was a really enjoyable story, I loved the characters and the magical realism. I loved Nana. I got to read an early copy of this book that I got with my points on BookishFirst. Thank you!

Super Cute!!

This book is all about love, magic, family, and opening yourself up to fate! Overall it was a really cute read and I am so happy I got to read it. I loved all the characters and I really enjoyed seeing all of them grow in different ways. I thought having several different plotlines that all centered around the same main themes was really neat and kept the book interesting. The book was a little too drawn out for my liking and it definitely started to drag in the middle. However, the ending, specifically the last third of the book, made up for it completely. I feel like everything wrapped up really nicely and it had a good ending. I really enjoyed the epilogue that gave us a look at the characters six months later as this really helped tie everything up. I also thought the cover was really cute. I really liked this book, the only thing that would make it better was if it was a little faster-paced in the beginning and middle. In conclusion, this book was really cute and perfect for anyone looking for a cute romance that is also centered on family, magic, and fate!
