Michelle, a Puerto Rican and Italian bisexual woman, currently works freelance in marketing. The book opens with Gabe, a Mexican and Puerto Rican bisexual man who lives in Los Angeles, being essentially forced to open a New York location of his gym, which is called Agility, and needing to refresh his marketing.
I figured I would love this book going into it, but I did not realize just how much until I had finished reading it. When they were in high school, they also worked on fanfiction together called Celestial Destiny, based on a sci-fi show featuring Latine characters. Thankfully for my angst-ridden Pisces heart, A Lot Like Adiós’s Michelle and Gabe are childhood best friends-turned-almost lovers, who reunite one day many years later. Second chance romance in which the partners connect via writing together is even more my kryptonite. Facing mounting pressure from their families-who think they’re dating-and growing uncertainty about their futures, can they resolve their past mistakes, or is it only a matter of time before Gabe says adiós again? As they work on the campaign, old feelings resurface, and their reunion takes a sexy turn.
Michelle is torn between holding Gabe at arm’s length or picking up right where they left off-in her bed. It’s the last place Gabe wants to go, but when Michelle is unexpectedly brought on board to spearhead the new marketing campaign, everything Gabe’s been running from catches up with him. Now, he’s the successful co-owner of LA’s hottest celebrity gym, with an investor who insists on opening a New York City location. Gabriel Aguilar left the Bronx at eighteen to escape his parents’ demanding expectations, but it also meant saying goodbye to Michelle, his best friend and longtime crush. Besides, the only guy who ever made her want happily-ever-after disappeared thirteen years ago. So what if her love life is nonexistent? She’s perfectly fine being the black sheep of her marriage-obsessed Puerto Rican-Italian family. After burning out in her corporate marketing career, Michelle Amato has built a thriving freelance business as a graphic designer.
