A workaholic New York City lawyer, Claire Walker, falls for Matías de León, a Spanish-born artist in the city for an exhibition, in this utterly unforgettable opposites-attract speculative-fiction romance. Claire can’t resist falling for Matías’s charms, yet still struggles to find balance between work and their relationship, even long after they’ve moved in together and are considering marriage. In a cruel twist of fate, Matías falls into a coma after a tragic accident while on vacation with his friends. Rushing to be at his bedside in Spain and surrounded by Matías’s family, Claire finds that a weird twist of fate seems to have given only her the ability to communicate with the ghost of a past-life version of her partner. Claire believes that the key to getting Matías to wake up is for this other version of him to fall in love with her as she explores Spain and grows close to his family. The story is compellingly narrated by Victoria Villarreal and Anthony Rey Perez, who superbly voice the characters’ American and Spanish accents.
VERDICT Highly recommended for fans of authors such as Rebecca Serle and contemporary-romance stories with a magical-realism twist.
