Falling for each other becomes as natural as breathing. That is, until they meet Santiago López Alvarado, the hot new waiter. To keep Ander from becoming complacent during their gap year, their family “fires” them so they can transition from restaurant life to focusing on their murals and prepare for college. That give them the thought, are they ready to leave it all behind? It’s the place that has inspired Ander as a muralist, and, as they get ready to leave for art school, it’s all of these things that give them hesitancy. And, especially their job at their family’s taquería. The mixture of Spanish and English filling the streets.

The Santos Vista neighborhood of San Antonio, Texas, is all Ander Martínez has ever known. So here is what I’m really looking forward to reading in May:Īnder & Santi Were Here by Jonny Garza Villa - Out May 2Īristotle and Dante meets The Hate U Give meets The Sun Is Also A Star: A stunning YA contemporary love story about a Mexican-American teen who falls in love with an undocumented Mexican boy. It was super hard to pick what is at the very top of my to-read pile, but I did indeed manage to pull it off. I am not kidding! Have you seen it? Take a peek at our Release Calendar if you don’t believe me. I know I say this every time I write about my TBR, but holy crap - there is so much good stuff coming out in the next month or so.
