Calvin is the excessively cute new neighbor who helps Julieta's dearest Abuela Bubbles around the house and watches telenovelas with her to help with his Spanish. Julieta grew up with Lucas, since his parents are also from Argentina. Especially the three handsome boys she can't seem to avoid these days: Lucas, Calvin, and Ryan. There's heightened pressure on the prose when an author chooses to make their main character a writer, but almost immediately, the reader is pulled in by Julieta's highly entertaining penchant for hilariously detailed descriptions of the people, places, and things around her. Andreu's latest, Julieta and the Romeos, 17-year-old Julieta Toledo escapes into writing, the perfect haven for her increasingly runaway imagination. Most book lovers dive into a good book to escape the dreaded realities of life.
