Hi, Mich. It’s Gabe.
It’s been a long time.
I’ve missed you."

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of friends to lovers, fake dating, and second chance romance trope. #ALotLikeAdios was such a fun cute read, the bickering, and big Latinx family dynamics were so hilarious and a joy to read about. Oh, don't get me started on the scene 😅. I always wonder how authors write sex scenes where both characters just keep talking while at it, I can't help but say 'less talking, more doing. 😈

One of the key elements I deeply appreciated and feel is relatable to everyone, is the family dynamic and expectations. Gabe was deeply affected by the rift he had with his family (his father as a matter of fact), that he left home and stayed away trying to prove that he wouldn't be a failure by choosing a career he wanted and to try new things away from the prying eyes of his family. Thus fracturing the relationship between them and a possibility to salvage it. And the realization they finally had.

Although I did get angry at Gabe somewhat ghosting Michelle, I was kinda angry and sad to read about it. We could see Michelle hurting all over again, but, it all turned out alright and understandable considering he's always been struggling to make a decision and to know what he truly wants.
