The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

I was in a serious reading slump. I keep putting down books and forgetting to return to them. I thought mysteries would hold my attention. Other people’s fictional problems have made me feel better about my world. But none of the fictional world could compete with what’s happening in 2020. And even though I am an introvert and love reading, the problems of the world kept distracting me until… Shelf Love (a romance book podcast) tempted me with their recommendation of The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa.

A romance audiobook was exactly what I needed. For the first time in months, I was excited to read and keep reading. It surprised me that a romance did the trick. After all, the dating, kissing and lovemaking is unrealistic in the time of Covid-19. But surprise, surprise, I needed a simpler time and a sappier read.

The Worst Best by Mia Sosa is about Brazilian American, Carolina Santos, a wedding planner, who was stood up at her own wedding three years ago. Andrew, her fiancee, being too cowardly to tell her himself, sends his younger brother Max to deliver the news. Max makes the mistake of informing Carolina about the text message he received from Andrew. The message implied that it was Max’s words of wisdom during the bachelor party that convinced Andrew that he didn’t want to get married. Needlessly to say, Carolina is not a fan of Max from that moment on.

Three years pass before they all meet again. Carolina is up for a job being the lead wedding planner at a luxury hotel. Unfortunately, she learns too late that Andrew and Max are in charge of the hotel’s marketing. RomCom magic and happenstance, she ends up having to work with Max to perfect her pitch for the job. Sparks fly from there.

I love diverse women in RomComs, especially Women of Color. Sosa does an excellent job showing Carolina’s culture, family, and community. As Carolina’s character develops through the story, the reader is showed the complicacies of being a Woman of Color trying to thrive in the professional world. Carolina struggles with how to express herself without becoming too emotional in the eyes of a white patriarchy world.

Max struggles with getting out of his brother’s shadow and feeling like second best. They both have relatable baggage that through their growing relationship, they learn to navigate their various issues. The two have a great enemy to lovers’ chemistry. The romance plot is very sexy and realistic. Though, sometimes the story gets overboard with cheesiness. Max’s conversations with his friend, Dean isn’t very realistic. For example, Max is well too direct about his masturbatory fantasies with Dean. It was weird.

This novel is in first person with Max and Carolina as the point of view characters. Most of the first person narration was great, but there was some awkward monologuing. I liked the audio narrator (with Rebecca Mozo and Wayne Mitchell) except for Wayne’s female voices, which weren’t very good. But Wayne as Max’s voice was deep and sexy asf.

So, I rated The Worst Best Friend 4 out of 5 stars. Great plot, very sexy, relatable characters, but some of the dialogue was over the top.

Many virtual hugs to the Mia Sosa for pushing me out of my reading slump. I recommend this book to all romance readers and those who just need a light read with a guaranteed happy ending. I will definitely read her other books.

"It's refreshing to speak with someone who not only relates to my experience but also doesn't think the way I respond to it is entirely flawed. Protecting yourself from hurt doesn't mean you're broken. It means you're human...Every person has to decide whether to lower their shield and when." QOTD: What enemies to lovers rom com did you love? Romantic comedies are slowly becoming my favorite genre in between heavy reads. Worst Best Man is one of the best I've read so far. The writing was great throughout and I didn't want to put it down. Mia Sosa really knows how the keep a reader captivated. I loved that this enemies to lovers story was all about communication and how the characters learn to trust again. Here are some of my highlights: 👰🏽 Brazilian representation 👰🏽 Afro-Latinx perspective 👰🏽 communication & patience in relationships 👰🏽 strong, close knit Latinx family 👰🏽 discussion of issues in interracial dating 👰🏽 enemies to lovers & second chance at love tropes 👰🏽 yummy food mentions 👰🏽 strong character development& well written side characters 👰🏽 behind the scenes of wedding planning 👰🏽 great balance between the storyline and the right amount of steam 👰🏽 ambitious and funny female lead I felt the chemistry between Lina and Max from the start and watching their evolution just made my heart melt. I so glad this one is leading to a spin off. Lina and Max remind us that without honest and open dialogue a relationship is doomed to fail. No one should have to settle for anything less than they deserve out of fear. I would love to see this one as a movie. Hollywood are you listening? I am officially a Mia Sosa lifetime fan. #WorstBestMan #MiaSosa #afrolatinx #ownvoices #boricua #Brazilian #LatinxRomance #books #LatinxBookstagram #bookreviews #ReadCaribbean #ReadPuertoRican #AvonBooks #latinxfiction #bookish #bookphotos #skyline #bookdragon #bibliophile #bookworm #reading #paperbacks #romcom #readlatinx #weddingplanner #interracialdating #bookrecommendation #lovestory #enemiestolovers #secondchance (at Liberty Science Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxdhl4Lp4a/?utm_medium=tumblr

💍 Book Review 💍 . 👰 Carolina Santos or Lina was jilted on her wedding day by Andrew (her fiancé) three years back then is now one of the best wedding planners in DC. During work after impressing an influential guest, Lina is about to land on a once in a lifetime opportunity but there is a catch. She has to face Andrew and collaborate with his younger brother Max Hartley who is a Marketing expert. Three years back, Max had encouraged Andrew to jilt his bride on the wedding day. If Lina can tolerate Max for a few weeks then he can help her nail her presentation and grab an amazing job with a leading group of hotels. She is also determined for a little payback of her own. . 👰 I loved Lina’s bond with her family, aunts, and her cousins. She is a great wedding planner and never leaves a stone unturned. Max Hartley is perfect. Lina and Max are wonderful and their chemistry together is quite good. The author’s style of writing is amazing and I could fly through the book. I could get many glimpses of Brazilian culture in the book which was something very new for me. Overall it is a sweet, warm, swoon-worthy, delightful, hilarious, and witty enemies to lovers rom-com. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . Have you read this book? How did you feel about it? . #theworstbestman #theworstbestmanromcom #miasosa #romcom #romcombooks #romcomreads #romcomreads #romcomaddict #romcomreads #enemytoloversromance #romancebooks #comtemporaryromance #readers #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersofinsta #readerslife #reader #book #bookstagram #booklover #booknerd #bookaddict (at Stay At Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAD7f6yANZx/?igshid=vb2go487b3aq

#resenhadobabado The Worst Best Man - @miasosaromance ⠀ 👩🏾Carolina “Lina” Santos é uma personagem fácil de se identificar. Tudo bem que nem todo mundo é largado no altar no dia do casamento, mas ela soube dar a volta por cima e hoje em dia toca um negócio que envolve planejar casamentos. Ela é bem determinada e tem uma visão bem clara do seu futuro, mas entre os seus queridos ela se mostra mulher divertida e sensível. ⠀ 👨🏻E eis que já temos o primeiro crush literário do ano e ele se chama Max Hartley! O ex-futuro cunhado da organizadora é um homem charmoso e carinhoso. Por se achar sempre à sombra do irmão mais velho, Max é trabalhador esforçado e criativo. ⠀ 👩🏾A química entre Lina e Max rola solta desde o início. Entretanto o fato dela ter sido noiva do irmão de Max faz com que os dois resistam a se entregar à atração existente. Além da tensão sexual, os dois são bastante fofos juntos. Ambos são bastante compreensivos um com o outro, além solidários com as dúvidas do lado profissional. ⠀ 👨🏻Gostei bastante como Mia trabalhou o conflito sobre o passado em comum dos dois, principalmente da parte de Max. Apesar de Lina ter superado o fato de ter sido largada no altar, esse é um acontecimento que marcou sua vida amorosa, fazendo com que ela ficasse receosa ao se envolver com outra pessoa. Da parte de Max, vem o quesito rivalidade entre irmãos e, apesar de seu sentimento ser verdadeiro, experiências do passado ainda plantam dúvidas em sua cabeça. ⠀ 👩🏾O ponto alto do livro é o fato de Lina ser descendentes de brasileiros. Sua mãe é brasileira imigrante nos EUA, então Lina cresceu rodeada de toda nossa cultura. Gostei muito como a autora apresentou vários aspectos brasileiros, de uma forma bastante respeitosa e não-estereotipada. ⠀ 👨🏻De uma forma envolvente e divertida, The Worst Best Man mostra que todo mundo merece uma segunda chance de ser feliz na vida. • • #miasosa #theworstbestman #romance #chicklit https://www.instagram.com/p/B7qGzTsgxrd/?igshid=x1gesj3qwhnr

There's room for different kinds of greatness. Even if you cry doing it. - The Worst Best Man by @miasosaromance ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ I picked this book up in February, mostly a cover buy, but it had gotten some love on bookstagram. I finally pulled it off the shelf last week and I can't believe I waited so long! This is adorable, and not just the cover. Enemies to lovers always gets me. Throw in a fake relationship and I am now trash for this book. Lina and Max have some amazing banter, cute moments (and steamy ones), so this book should absolutely go on your TBR if you haven't read it yet! ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #worstbestman #miasosa #contemporaryromance #pocauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjbiNrgiqp/?igshid=ggqoct10gczb
