A sweet lovely YA read :) and I'm glad I read it, because I really needed something fluffy and nice without that much heartache.. but poor Alex has a really hard life and his past is painfully sad and at the end of this book.. he gets more beating to last him a lifetime... but in the end.. he and his love were together and they did it!! I'm sure Ms. P. was so proud of them, now that she can teach their son, Paco, too :) 
 One thing that didn't sit well with me here.. was Brit.. Her character was just NOT right. She was full of contradictions. I thought she'd have more 'chemistry' in her than that.. but I found that she was full of drama and just all over the place. I felt more emotions from him than her.. 
 I would give it 3 and 1/2 stars - closer to 4.
