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.

"Just a fun and quick read, if you want a good contemporary YA book, look no further!"
Jonathan Kent
"Super solid rom-com. It's not something I'd go out of my way to recommend to someone who wasn't considering reading it, but to those who were considering it: it's good. It is likely you will enjoy this.<br/><br/>Specific notes? Love the atmosphere of being a party princess (the scenes at kid birthday parties come off realistically too). The entire setting of being in Miami and the latinx community in particular is utilized for unique scenes/locations/interactions throughout (ie. Miami club scene, literally the whole story revolving around quinceañeras) rather than just being mentioned and never spoken of again, which I thought was neat. Mostly I just liked watching the main couple interact. The family (and friend) too. Not necessarily as much as some books I've read but also certainly more than a lot of others. The cover is great too!"

"<strong>Cute</strong><br/><br/>I liked it. Angst and funny moments and things not turning out in life like you plan. I liked all the planning of the party as wel"
