A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club YA Pick

“A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow is an absolute delight. Cozier than a hand-knit gray cardigan and richer than Abuela’s pastelito recipe, Namey takes you from Miami to Winchester, and leaves your heart belonging to both.” —Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart

Love & Gelato meets Don’t Date Rosa Santos in this charming, heartfelt story following a Miami girl who unexpectedly finds love—and herself—in a small English town.

For Lila Reyes, a summer in England was never part of the plan. The plan was 1) take over her abuela’s role as head baker at their panadería, 2) move in with her best friend after graduation, and 3) live happily ever after with her boyfriend. But then the Trifecta happened, and everything—including Lila herself—fell apart.

Worried about Lila’s mental health, her parents make a new plan for her: Spend three months with family friends in Winchester, England, to relax and reset. But with the lack of sun, a grumpy inn cook, and a small town lacking Miami flavor (both in food and otherwise), what would be a dream trip for some feels more like a nightmare to Lila…until she meets Orion Maxwell.

A teashop clerk with troubles of his own, Orion is determined to help Lila out of her funk, and appoints himself as her personal tour guide. From Winchester’s drama-filled music scene to the sweeping English countryside, it isn’t long before Lila is not only charmed by Orion, but England itself. Soon a new future is beginning to form in Lila’s mind—one that would mean leaving everything she ever planned behind.

My father’s arms were crossed, his face stern. “You are not taking a whole week off from school for another ribbon. I said this was your last show and I meant it.”

The first time Jane’s father said that she had to stop riding and showing because she was a college student now, Jane didn’t think he meant it. But this time, the look in his eyes told a different story. He might as well have said he forbade her to breathe. Jane lived to ride. Hadn’t she mastered her flighty and powerful partner, Windsong, to win the junior championship? Hadn’t she proved her commitment by spending a summer riding and training, instead of hanging out with her friends? Didn’t he see that she was good at riding? More shocking was the fact that the love of her life, Cory Banks, agreed with her father. Cory supported her riding since he was a competitive western reining champion himself. Cory had stood by her side as she progressed in her training with the difficult but talented Windsong. And now he decides to side with her father.

Will Jane find a way to continue her quest to be the best dressage rider in the nation, keep her horse and get a college degree without blatantly defying her father and losing her boyfriend along the way? Jane’s journey continues in this last book of the trilogy, but don’t worry, you won’t be lost if you haven’t read the first and second books. Dance From the Heart will have you on the edge of your seat as Jane navigates the trials of growing up and competing in the exciting world of equestrian sports.What readers are saying about Dance From the Heart;
