Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Jane the Virgin, this immediately accessible and irresistibly fun rom-com debut will spin readers into an unforgettable summer of late-night dancing, broken hearts, second chances, and telenovela twists.
Carmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Except apparently "happily ever after" for Carmen involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship. Now she has to perform as a party princess! In a ball gown. During the summer. In Miami.
Fine. Except that's only the first misfortune in what's turning out to be a summer of Utter Disaster.
But if Carmen can manage dancing in the blistering heat, fending off an oh-so-unfortunately attractive ex, and stopping her spoiled cousin from ruining her own quinceañera--Carmen might just get that happily ever after--after all.
Ages 13 up. HarperTeen.
Grades 10-12. HarperTeen.
"Eighteen-year-old Carmen takes on a summer internship that has her reuniting with estranged family for an over-the-top quinceañera, reluctantly reconnecting to a long-lost ex-boyfriend, and finding happiness in the chaos"-- Provided by publisher.
Carmen Aguilar just wants to make her happily ever after come true. Which involves being stuck in an unpaid summer internship-- performing in a ball gown-- during the summer-- in Miami! Then the company is hired for her spoiled cousin Ariana's over the top quinceañera. And her new dance partner at work is none other than Mauro Reyes, Carmen's most deeply regrettable ex. If Carmen can manage dancing in the blistering heat, fending off Mauro's texts, and stopping Ariana from ruining her own quinceañera, she might just get that happily ever after. -- adapted from jacket
