When the Vibe is Right
Okay but how cute is this YA book?!
Oh Sarah!!!! This was beauuuuuuutiful!!!!!
The vibe is this sophomore novel was just right!
Get ready to immerse yourself in pure Trini vibes!!
Tess has high hopes of taking over her family business in costume designing but the company, run by her uncle Russell, is in jeopardy of going under.
They're struggling to keep up with new, trending designs from their competitors and the social media presence needed to help them thrive. The problem is that Tess is an introvert. She prefers to be behind the scenes, creating designs that speak to her family legacy. She's also a hard-core booklover and I love how that was incorporated throughout the story.
Surprisingly, she ends up getting the help of her long-time nemesis, Brandon, who's Mr. Popular and the latest social media star and has the potential to help the company get back into the limelight.
Tess tries to persuade Uncle Russell to try some new branding to keep the family legacy going but he wants none of it, he's old school and a man of principle but I love how this story shows how much the older generations can learn and thrive from young brilliant, creative minds! Together, Tess and Brandon are just that!
There's the usual miscommunication trope, trying to ignore and make excuses for their feelings for each other when a lot of untold history starts to reveal itself but when it does, these two spark like no other! Tell me you didn't like how Brandon just worked his way around and charmed everyone in Tess' family?
Thoroughly enjoyed Tess and Brandon's story! They're just the cutest! Their personalities are so different but I 100% felt their chemistry, the banter and eventual connection was so real.
And Uncle Russell! He's is the man!
This is my second YA book in recent weeks that was an absolute hit! Please don't sleep on these YA stories y'all!
