I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT THIS BOOK. 
Alexis Daria gave us the second book of the Power of Primas series and in my opinion, it is even better than the first. In this book we follow Michelle and Gabe, childhood best friends who have not seen or talked to each other in 13 years. Alexis Daria has a way of building such beautiful and real relationships. Gabe and Mich are truly the Latinx couple of my dreams, they work together to make a relationship that works for them. I will say that Gabe's personal journey in this book meant so much to me. As a first generation college graduate, I understand the complexities of dealing with leaving your family to start a life of your own. And I could not thank Alexis Daria enough for this story. 

Read this for all the best tropes: childhood best friends to strangers to lovers, second chance romance, forced proximity and fake dating.
