About this ebook
"I dare anyone to read this book without a ginormous grin on their faces. Warmth, humor and enchantments burst off the page, and the colorful characters of the Granados family crackle to life with Cervantes's signature wit, aching empathy and enviable flair for whimsy." —Roshani Chokshi, NYT bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves trilogy.
Jane the Virgin meets The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in New York Times bestselling author J.C. Cervantes's charming, romantic YA debut.
Ava Granados will never forgive herself for being late to her beloved nana’s deathbed. But due to a flash flood that left Ava in a fender bender with a mysterious boy, she missed her grandmother’s mystical blessing—one that has been passed between the women of her family upon death for generations.
Then Nana’s ghost appears with a challenge from beyond the grave. As it turns out, Nana did give Ava a blessing, but it missed its target, landing with the boy from the night of the storm instead. Was it fate? Ava refuses to believe so. With the help of her sisters and Nana’s rather bumbling spiritual guide, she’s determined to reclaim her share of the family magic and set Nana free.
For guarded Ava, befriending some random boy is the last thing she wants to do. She’s gotten along just fine protecting her heart—keeping people at a distance is a great way to ensure no one ever hurts you. But as Ava embarks on her mission to retrieve the lost blessing, she starts to wonder if getting close to thunderstorm boy is worth the risk.
In her swoony, heartwarming young adult debut, New York Times bestselling author J.C. Cervantes weaves an unforgettable tale about family, fate, and finding love where you least expect it.

Cute story. One word. Cute. That is the word that I felt the strongest after I finished this book. If you're looking for a book with a good twist, cute romance, and family. Read this book. Ava and Rion's relashonship was soo cute. The romance between them was adorable. And Ava's relashonship with her sisters was a beautiful powerful sisterly bond to behold. They were so supportive and I loved thier interactions so much. My heart was furiously beating along with Avas', as she was trying to get the blessing back. And remember Ava HAS to get her blessing back no matter what. Before it is too late, for her, her Nana and thier family. If the blessing would ever be gone. Or if the blessing ever became lost. Ava's family wouldn't be able to bless anymore. Don't be shy, pick up and read this book right now! The writing style was easy to follow and kept my attention as the chapters were just right in length, keeping me reading and interested. The book cover is beautiful.
