![]() There are several instances where they end up spending time together- lunch with Maria, dinner with Yaz’s dad and Maria. He’s handsome and she quickly realizes that he is a really good father. Yazmine and Tomas meet when Tomas is participating in a father-daughter dance routine in the recital. Yaz deems him in need of her “Perfect Partner” and they both believe that Yaz is not a perfect partner. Maria’s mom left shortly after her birth and because of that, Tomas is not interested in getting involved in a short term relationship, he wants to make sure Maria has stability and consistency in her life. ![]() He doesn’t intend to be absent in Maria’s life and really desires to make a good life for Maria so that means he works too much. One of her students is little Maria, who has a dad that doesn’t show up when he is supposed to and Yaz is mad at him for it, even though she doesn’t know it. Yaz has been back home for almost two years caring for her father and teaching at the local dance school. Right before her dad fell ill, she was struggling in New York because of a bad relationship and was doubting if it was really for her. She went to New York after high school and was working in the industry but left New York when her dad got cancer. Yazmine, our heroine, has been a dancer since she was a young girl. I was a little worried about reading two dance related books so close together, and although they share several common things like Latinx author, Latinx characters, and dancing, they are very different. ![]() ![]() ![]() His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras ![]()
