Kulti

I love this book so much, I could cry... scratch that— I actually did cry at some point (surprise, surprise!)

Enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, what more could I ask for? And in true Mariana Zapata fashion, this was a slow, slooooow burn. But it was so worth the wait.

Kulti and Sal's relationship was formed from equal admiration for one another. They relied on each other, they pushed each other and at the end of the day, they were a team, as Kulti so aptly pointed out.

Sal is stubborn and kind. She makes a genuine effort to not be an asshole to anybody but she also doesn't let anyone push her around. I like that she was honest (not counting omitting the truth on certain occasions). She loved her family and I loved her for it.

Kulti is the swooniest hero. Under all the grump, he was just a giant softie. The words he said to Sal when declaring his love? I screamed. He's the hate-everyone-but-you sort of hero; the I'll-give-you-the-world-or-watch-it-burn-trying sort of hero. To add icing on the German chocolate cake, he was HER hero.

Never meet your heroes, friends... unless they're a Kulti then you're probably the luckiest person on earth.

I give this one a 5 out of 5 tacos.
