The Quince Project is the story of Castillo Torres, a girl who is determined to make magic happen. Cas is a party planner who understands the need for happy endings after losing her mom. When Cas gets the chance to work with a popular Disney influencer, it could be what she needs to finally get her dream job. She soon realizes that there’s more to the quinceañera than meets the eye. Can Cas pull off an epic celebration and create a happy ending for everyone, including herself?
The Quince Project is a sweet and joyful adventure. I loved the bond between Cas and her sister Po. They were always there for each other and helped pull off magical celebrations. Jessica Parra also includes themes of grief and loss, without losing the lighthearted joy. Cas, Po, and their dad are all dealing with their loss in different ways and I enjoyed how they finally managed to reconnect. Cas loves happy endings and learns to balance that with her grief. The romance between Cas and Javi is very cute and filled with lots of great moments. I loved the Disney references! Readers who enjoy fun adventures, strong family bonds, and heartfelt emotions will love this book.
