Love of My Lives

By Yamile Saied Méndez
Love of My Lives by Yamile Saied Méndez digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the acclaimed author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club Pick Furia,Yamile Saied Méndez’s second adult novel is a multicultural rom-com about a woman who dreams of her soulmate—literally—and then must find her love in real-life—even if it means making room for new dreams.

Madi Ramírez has it all—a thriving career she loves, a successful boyfriend, and a wedding to plan—when he finally proposes. So why does she feel like there is something missing? Jayden even has the right initials—the JR that appeared to Madi years ago, in a dream visitation from her beloved, wise abuela. Madi’s friends think her expectations are too high—but she can’t help wishing for that dreamy feeling in real-life. Wishing that Jayden would show her a little more affection. That she could really believe they were meant to be . . .
 
When a business trip to Puerto Rico presents itself, Madi is quick to take it. She can finally scatter her abuela’s ashes on the beach, as she wished. And maybe time apart will remind Jayden how much Madi means to him—and maybe he’ll begin to show it. But in Puerto Rico, Madi finds something—well, someone—else. A man who makes her heart beat triple-time—and who feels as right as someone
Fated—except for those nagging initials . . .
 
Brimming with the magic of Old San Juan and la Isla del Encanto, The Love of My Lives is the perfect read for anyone who has longed for a legendary love story that transcends time and distance—and the powerful magic of steering their own dreams.

“I read this for a romcom with Puerto Rico vibes. The romance didn’t vibe for me probably because I wasn’t a fan of the main character. The time jumps were super weird in the storyline and the way it wrapped up made no sense to me. Also, some of the PR stuff wasn’t super accurate, but still, it made me crave a malta and a mofongo :)”
