With Love, Echo Park

9,From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, this touching and emotionally satisfying (Publishers Weekly, starred review) novel follows two Cuban teens in LA's Echo Park neighborhood who clash over their visions for the future, the secrets between their families...and the sparks flying between them. Seventeen-year-old Clary is set to inherit her family's florist shop, La Rosa Blanca--one of the last remnants of the Cuban business district that once thrived in Los Angeles's Echo Park neighborhood. Clary knows Echo Park is where she'll leave a legacy, and nothing is more important to her than keeping the area's unique history alive. Besides Clary's florist shop, there's only one other business left founded by Cuban immigrants fleeing Castro's regime in the sixties and seventies. And Emilio, who's supposed to take over Avalos Bicycle Works one day, is more flight risk than dependable successor. While others might find Emilio appealing, Clary can see him itching to leave now that he's graduated, and she'll never be charmed by a guy who doesn't care if one more Echo Park business fades away. But then Clary is caught off guard when an unexpected visitor delivers a shocking message from someone she thought she'd left behind. Meanwhile, Emilio realizes leaving home won't be so easy--and Clary, who has always been next door, is who he confides in. As the summer days unfold, they find there's something stronger than local history tying them together.
