"Tamaya Cruz won me over with her book This Bowl of Stars. . . . 'Dulce, Por Fin' is filled with a deep longing that Cruz eloquently writes. I was drawn in from the beginning." —Desi Stowe, author of the Charleston Harbor series

Lourdes and Jules have been best friends all their lives. They grew up on long conversations about their favorite cartoon characters and spent their college years cheering each other on through law school and marathons.

Though years and distance between them grew, Lo had always been the biggest part of Jules's heart, even if he was the love she couldn't admit she wanted.

When Lo moves to Jules's town to open a food truck, they find themselves back in each others' lives where their friendship feels like it's growing into more.

Will their friendship finally cross a line into love?
