About this listen
From award-winning author Adriana Herrera comes a novel hailed as one of Entertainment Weekly’s 10 Best Romance Novels of 2019 and a TODAY Show Hot Summer Read.
No one ever said big dreams come easy
For Nesto Vasquez, moving his Afro-Caribbean food truck from New York City to the wilds of Upstate New York is a huge gamble. If it works? He’ll be a big fish in a little pond. If it doesn’t? He’ll have to give up the hustle and return to the day job he hates. He’s got six months to make it happen—the last thing he needs is a distraction.
Jude Fuller is proud of the life he’s built on the banks of Cayuga Lake. He has a job he loves and good friends. It’s safe. It’s quiet. And it’s damn lonely. Until he tries Ithaca’s most-talked-about new lunch spot and works up the courage to flirt with the handsome owner. Soon he can’t get enough—of Nesto’s food or of Nesto. For the first time in his life, Jude can finally taste the kind of happiness that’s always been just out of reach.
An opportunity too good to pass up could mean a way to stay together and an incredible future for them both...if Nesto can remember happiness isn’t always measured by business success. And if Jude can overcome his past and trust his man will never let him down.

As for the story, it was great to read about several persons of colour for a change. They [and the food] made the story warm, vibrant and really colourful. Although it was clear that the attraction Nesto and Jude felt for each other was deep from the start, unfortunately Nesto's character annoyed and frustrated the hell out of me fairly regularly. In view of his immigrant background [coming to the US at the age of 6 from the Dominican Republic], he felt the need to succeed even more than most; such a workaholic and stubborn, driven individual for his business OuNYe that he frequently hurt Jude with his actions and words - not deliberately, but just because he didn't stop to think...so he definitely suffered from foot in mouth syndrome. On the plus side, he had a great bunch of friends, and a mother who loved him to bits in spite of his shortcomings.
Jude was the character who'd had a tough religious upbringing, made even more difficult by the realisation that he was gay, so rather than upset the apple cart he chose to stay in the closet until the time finally came when he couldn't and wouldn't hide any longer. Of course his family chose to shun him, so he moved away but was fairly lonely. I absolutely 💙💚💛🧡💜 Carmen, his co-worker and seemingly his only friend...and as for the appalling Misty, the bigoted racist bitch, well what goes around comes around lady and you'll get yours [hopefully].
So to sum up, yes I liked the story - in fact I've already pre-ordered the audio of book 2 American Fairytale, and Sean's narration was pretty cool with loads of Spanish and Latinx phrases...after all, we're talking about Puerto Rico, the DR [Dominican Republic], Haiti and Cuba folks. Never having been to any of those countries [nearest I've been is the East Coast of Florida around St Augustine], it was like a mini tourism guide.
Good start to a new series...
