Along Came Amor (Primas of Power #3) by Alexis Daria is here!! Check out my review to see if this is the right book for you.

I’ve never read a book that described my maternal family’s dynamics so well! The judgmental matriarch, gossiping, misogyny, loyalty, controlling behavior over decision-making, “playful teasing,” the expectations, and pressure to be perfect. I even saw a tía (Titi Val) similar to mine (Tati aka Batata) who acts as the trusted barrier between her niece & their family’s judgments.

It’s hard to escape the feelings of shame and loneliness that stems from this inter-generational trauma because of how normalized it is! Like Ava, I spent a lot of my life doing what my family told me was best, but when I really got to know myself outside of our home and held my own, they didn’t respond well.

Despite all of this, we still love each other. It’s just complicated! Thank you, @alexisdaria for capturing this experience authentically!

Ava and Roman’s love story is complicated and deep but it is also sexy as hell!! Their personalities compliment each other well and sometimes their issues mirror the others. I.e. Their tendency to give more of themselves to others regardless of their own needs.

So if you want to read a book with fantastic family drama, a perfectionist who gets messy, & a workaholic who wants to pamper his loved ones, you need to get your hands on this book!

Thank you @harperaudio for a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review!
