Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:A whimsical romcom from the acclaimed author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club Pick Furia, perfect for fans of The Spanish Love Deception and Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating.

"An enchanting novel overflowing with self-love and second chances."— Kirkus Reviews

A Cosmopolitan Summer Read You Need | A Goodreads Book to Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month | A Scary Mommy Summer Book Pick

One month short of her wedding day—and her thirtieth birthday—Nadia Palacio finds herself standing up to her infuriating, cheating fiancé for the first time in . . . well, ever. But that same courage doesn't translate to breaking the news to her Argentinian family. She's hyperventilating before facing them when she glimpses a magazine piece about a Latina woman celebrating herself—with a second quinceañera, aka Sweet 15! And that gives Nadia a brilliant idea . . .

With a wedding venue already paid for, and family from all over the world with plane tickets, Nadia is determined to create her own happily-ever-after. Since the math adds up perfectly, she'll celebrate her treintañera, her double quinces. As the first professional in her family, raising a glass to her achievements is the best plan she's had in years. Until she discovers that the man in charge of the venue is none other than her college fling that became far more than a fling. And he looks even more delicious than a three-tiered cake . . .

Full of exuberant heart, Twice a Quinceañera is a pure delight for every woman who needs to be her own biggest fan—and who dreams of a second chance at first love.

"Heartwarming...A fun, empowering romp." — Publishers Weekly
"A warm, romantic story." – Booklist.

I liked Nadia a lot and had a lot of empathy for her predicament. She's been this dream of high expectations - some of which were imposed by her family and some of which are self imposed. She's put up with a lot but has finally decided to choose herself for once. But just because you make that choice, doesn't mean you don't have second thoughts and weak moments where you want to go back to what is familiar. I liked this novel of self acceptance and courage to give up the old expectations and self doubts. ( )

I really liked this second chance, coming into your own romance. Nadia never had a quinceañera like her older sister. After a decade plus long romance and engagement, Nadia calls it all off shortly before the wedding. She stumbles across an article about grown up quinceañeras. The venue is already booked, so she tells her family that she wants to celebrate her double quinceañera as she is turning thirty and entering a new phase of her life. Nadia's a great character--she's strong and learning how to use her own voice. Crucial to the story is the fact that the venue is owned by a family whose son she shared a special summer with during college. Marcus works at the family business, trying to prove he can keep it in the family. ( )

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The premise is pretty interesting, but the writing was a bit long winded. I found myself skimming along thru some chapters where the plot really didn’t move along.

Nadia is almost thirty and finds herself without a groom just a few weeks before her wedding. She has the venue and family coming in from out of the country so she decides to throw herself a 30th birthday party or double quinces as she’s calling it.

The venue manager/party planner goes out of town and leaves her brother in charge. Her brother, Marcos, just so happens to be Rocket, the guy Nadia had a fling with in college. Marcos helps save the party and, let’s be honest, this book. The book was told in alternating chapters - Nadia and Marcos - and I was definitely more interested in Marcos’ chapters. ( )
