EL REY GATO DE LA HABANA

The Cat King of Havana

PB (LSD43477) 2018 9788416973064 $28.99 384 pp.

Rick Gutierrez is the Cat King of Havana! Actually, he is not really a king; he is always holed up inside posting cat videos online. That does not make him very appealing to his girlfriend. He knows he has to change so he enrolls in a salsa class. Ana Cabrera is charming, nice, and a great dancer. Even though Rick is half Cuban, he can't dance to save his life. Desperate to impress Ana, he invites her to spend the summer in Havana. In Cuba, though, not everything is sun and fun. The island has a dark side. Rick, Ana, and Rick's family investigate why his mother left decades ago. In doing so, they learn that politics affect everyone and love, like roses, has thorns.

Amelie Ayres has impeccable taste in music. When she finds herself backstage at The Keep's only UK gig, she expects to hate it. After all, they are the world's most tragic band. In fact, she feels a grudging respect—not (obviously) for their music, but for the work that goes in to making them megastars. When their lead singer is not dressed up as a cross between Elvis and a My Little Pony, he is actually rather normal, talented and has creative struggles not too dissimilar to her own. The next morning, she awakes to discover that her backstage visit has gone viral and not for a good reason. Now everyone wants to know who she is.

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. He barely even speaks to me, but he still won't leave me alone. We were best friends once; then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I was humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went away for a year just to avoid him. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.

While she was away at boarding school for two years, I never heard from her. When she returned, she did not talk to me during the day, but left her door open at night. I was stupid then, but now I will beat her at her own game. I have returned and he still loves me, but acts like he is better than me.  I'm not scared and I won't back down. If I keep my guard up, he will never realize how much I care.
