Accompanied by her charming troublemaker best friend Charlie, Del sets out to save the cafe, keep Charlie out of prison, and maybe get a date with Rosa, the beautiful flamenco dancer from across the road. But when life is messy enough as it is, can girl-on-girl romance ever have a happy ending? A beloved #LoveOzYAnovel about how to be heartbroken,how to fall in love, and how to wrestle with problems that are (almost) too big.
