Twice a Quinceañera

De: Yamile Saied Méndez

Narrado por: Marisol Ramirez

Acclaimed author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club Pick Furia, Yamile Saied Méndez makes her adult fiction debut with this sparkling, whimsical novel of an accomplished young woman who discovers what it really means to come into her own …

One month short of her wedding day—and her thirtieth birthday—Nadia Palacio finds herself standing up to her infuriating, cheating fiancé for the first time in … well, ever. But that same courage doesn’t translate to breaking the news to her Argentinian family. She’s hyperventilating before facing them when she glimpses a magazine piece about a Latina woman celebrating herself—with a second quinceañera, a.k.a. Sweet 15! And that gives Nadia a brilliant idea …

With a wedding venue already paid for, and family from all over the world with plane tickets, Nadia is determined to create her own happily-ever-after. Since the math adds up perfectly, she’ll celebrate her treintañera, her double quinces. As the first professional in her family, raising a glass to her achievements is the best plan she’s had in years. Until she discovers that the man in charge of the venue is none other than her college fling that became far more than a fling. And he looks even more delicious than a three-tiered cake …

Full of exuberant heart, Twice a Quinceañera is a pure delight for every woman who needs to be her own biggest fan—and who dreams of a second chance at first love.

Empowering

This story is empowering and one that is relatable. A must read of self love and second chances.

Hum..

I had heard such good reviews for this book and really looking forward to listening to it.
it was just to slow and I kept waiting for it to go somewhere.

Love it

Great listening. Loved it brought make memories. Even though I did not have a quince

Nice story line

I loved all of the family get togethers and their descriptions. As most families there is complexity in their relationships but they all love each other.

Great

Such a great story, I wish it didn’t end, and I’m hoping I can find other books by her!

Quinceañera means the world

The quinces are meaningful. This story is filled with synchronization. It keeps you interested with each turn of events. I would have more romance but it’s overall a good story.
