Guava and Grudges

"Filled with decadent descriptions of food, bittersweet rivalries, and zesty romantic tension, Guava and Grudges will have you hungry for more from Alexis Castellanos. A deliciously sweet read!" -Ashley Poston, New York Times best-selling author of The Dead Romantics, The Seven Year Slip, and A Novel Love Story A Cuban Girl´s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow meets Tweet Cute in this YA romcom about two teens from rival Cuban bakeries who create a recipe for disaster when they start to fall for each other. Ana Maria Ybarra dreams of becoming a pastry chef. She loves developing new and exciting Cuban-fusion treats in her family´s bakery, but her dad refuses to change the menu created by her abuelo decades ago-meanwhile, the rival bakery across the street, Morales Bakery, is thriving with their Instagram-famous desserts. Ana Maria´s only hope to change her dad´s mind and save up for culinary school is winning a recipe competition with a social media angle. But then the ultimate distraction shows up in her small town: Miguel, a boy she spent one magical day with six months ago, and who she never thought she´d see again. Ana Maria thinks maybe fate has brought them together again-until she learns the horrible truth. Miguel is a Morales. An Ybarra cannot be associated with a Morales, let alone fall for one. But when she finds out Miguel is behind the Moraleses´ viral success and he offers to help her with the competition, she is so desperate to win she can´t turn him down. All she needs to do is keep Miguel at arm´s length and make sure their families don´t find out. After all, teaming up with Miguel is just business and nothing more...right?
