A girl’s girl influencer gets a serious reality check when she discovers she’s fallen for her best friend’s boyfriend in this forbidden friends-to-lovers romance.
Sofia Mendoza has had enough. She’s done watching male co-workers steal credit for her talent, and now she’s going to do something about it. No one knows she’s the brains behind a popular video series highlighting and celebrating women in history who’ve been erased from their own inventions and discoveries. Her family and friends still think she has a successful corporate job and if they discover she is supporting herself by creating social media content, they’d be stunned.
Keeping her online persona a secret is lonely, but when she sparks a virtual friendship with an anonymous follower—A—first in her comment section with his insightful perspective, then in their private video chats, where he proves to be witty and catfish level good looking, the chemistry between them ignites.
But when her old friend, Caitlin, arrives for a visit, Sofia’s lies threaten to unravel. A is Alex Castillo, her best friend’s boyfriend. Alex doesn’t reveal that he knows her, and Sofia realizes he may be keeping secrets, too. With their friendship now in real life, can they keep their attraction in check?
I absolutely devoured this book! Love love love that it takes place in Arizona. The little touches the author did by mentioning actual places, made me smile. Do I have a new book boyfriend? YES I DO! Alex is perfect. *dreamily sighs* Sofia is a wonderful and relatable character. I love how strong she is. The chemistry between them is more than just a slow burn. Witty, emotional, and packed full of culture flavor, I was hooked and also craving all the delicious food mentioned!
This was my first Liana de La Rosa book and it won’t be my last. I enjoyed her writing and storytelling style. I’m off to find more of her books! Skip adding this to your TBR and go straight to reading it!
