West Side Love Story
A heart-stirring romance of star-crossed love, feuding familias, and the bonds of sisterhood by USA Today bestselling author Priscilla Oliveras.
Two familias in Texas, both alike in dignity, rivalries, and passion...
Having grown up in the nurturing household of Casa Capuleta, Mariana will do anything for familia. To solve her adoptive parents' financial problems amid their rapidly changing San Antonio comunidad, Mariana and her younger sisters are determined to win the Battle of the Mariachi Bands. That means competing against Hugo Montero, their father's archnemesis, and his band and escalating a decades-old feud. It also raises the stakes of Mariana's forbidden attraction for a certain dark-eyed mariachi who sets her heart racing.
To Angelo Montero's familia, Mariana is also strictly off-limits. But that doesn't stop him from pursuing her. As their secret affair intensifies and the competition grows fierce, they're swept up in a brewing storm of betrayals, rivalries, and broken ties. Against the odds, they vow to bring peace. But sacrifices must be made and consequences weighed for two star-crossed lovers to make beautiful music together.

Priscilla is the Jane Austin of current times. She evokes the deepest feelings in me with just light touches of the hand, held stares across the room. I am clenching my heart over the smallest of moments.
I don't know what magic she possess when she writes romance, but I am under her spell and I love it.
The loose Romeo and Juliet slash West Side Story retelling with a full Latinx cast is so heartfelt!
The flair of forbidden romance and the clandestine meetings are my actual catnip and it had me on the loveliest chokehold.
The book also addresses the prevalent topic of gentrification as well, all this proves that the romance genre can teach so much (socially) and emotionally!
The full family of the sisters are also so near and dear to my heart. Their connections both the life long ones and the newer ones (some sisters are more recently adopted/fostered) are so special and add such depth to the story.
I love this book so much. It's light, yet deep with emotions. Just like the queen Priscilla can muster up with every book!
