Synopsis

From the author of Where the Rhythm Takes You comes a delightful enemies-to-lovers, contemporary romance set during Trinidad’s Carnival celebration. There are two things Tess Crawford knows for sure: She’s destined to be a great Trinidadian Carnival costume designer like her renowned uncle, Russel Messina, and will one day inherit leadership of the family’s masquerade band, Grandeur. Her classmate, the popular social media influencer, Brandon Richards, is the bane of her existence. Everything about him irks her, from his annoying nickname for Tess (“Boop”) to his association with David, her awful ex. But when the future of Grandeur nears the brink of collapse in the face of band rivalry, Tess finds to her chagrin that she must team up with Brandon in a desperate attempt to revive the company. As Tess and Brandon spend more time together, Tess begins to wonder if everything she thought she knew might not be so certain after all…. Set in lush, gorgeous Trinidad, this is a novel about finding love in the most unexpected places.

This was cute, but not as cute as I expected it to be. I was thinking there'd be more romance inside, and the parts of it that were there didn't blow me away. From the start I had this feeling that the main characters were supposed to be older, and then every once in a while I'd get reminded they wer......more

I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance and this one didn’t completely disappoint. It’s a slow-burn YA novel set in Trinidad and Tobago during Carnival season.
