A Lot Like Adiós by Alexis Daria

5.0

Ay Dios mío, mi corazoncito!

Let me tell you que si me gustó mucho “You had me at hola”, “A lot like adiós” me robó el corazón. I need to do this in Spanglish sólo porque si. How can I not?

Michelle y Gabe tienen historia. They were childhood best friends hace una vez. They were locos for each other and being típicos adolescentes, never said anything. They haven’t seen each other in 9 años, desde que Gabe se fue de New York and abandoned his family and friends to pursue his dreams. Ser parte de una familia hispana is not easy my friends. Some of us have expectativas que cumplir or negotiate with our family. That was the case for Gabe. His family would not see things his way y el los resentía por eso. No le importó dejar behind the girl he loved just to get away from his familia.


Now things have made it possible for them to work together. They are both successful at what they do y juntos serían imparables. Cuando Gabe se contacta with Michelle, she just can’t believe it’s him. To her own surprise she accepts his deal but she has unas cuantas cláusulas que negociar. In order for them to work together, el tiene que quedarse con ella nada mas y nada menos que en New York. The place he swore he would never go back to. El acepta. Las cosas entre ellos están sensitive. Neither knows how far the can test each other. Gabe is afraid to see his family and Michelle is afraid of loving him una vez más. They both have problems they need to work on. They need to forgive each other y hacer las paces. They just weren’t counting en lo candente que las cosas were going to get…



Canten conmigo:
“Quisiera poder olvidarme de ti
Con otra sacarte por siempre de mí
Decirte a la cara que no me haces falta para poder vivir …”
