What an adorable read!
Ramon and Julieta is a loose Latinx re-telling of Romeo and Juliet.
From the get go of the book, we are educated on the state of gentrification in the San Diego city. Ramon being part of the big companies taking over, his slight guilt but also determination to succeed at constant battle in his character development.
Julieta a chef, with a fearless determination to make it despite the gentrification happening in her barrio.
They meet and there is instant attraction, even though they don't initially act on it.
I do wish that when it came to the intimacy scenes there was more pay-out. As I read their first reactions to observing each other and their attraction, it felt like an over promised later on when the scenes came up.
I also feel a lack of communication between both characters.
I think this book could have been more, with further character development and less fleshing out of the gentrification. It almost felt like a YA read with steam.
The book was just not for me.
