Taco Tuesdays: A Wish Novel

Nacho average foodie WISH book! Monica Mancillas explores themes of family, food, and identity wrapped up in a sweet, commercial title.

Dulce doesn't want to spend the summer helping at her family's restaurant, but with the business needing all the help it can get, she doesn't have a choice.

Julian doesn't want to be in California. But his food vloger parents have relocated the family as part of an attempt to keep their marriage going, so he doesn't have a choice, either.

When the two literally crash into each other, it's so not the beginning of a beautiful friendship. But as they're both forced to enroll in a cooking class together and slowly get to know each other, things get heated--and not just the tacos! Julian and Dulce each have something to learn from the other about friendship, family, community, and food.
