Don't Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno

A young woman raised on a small coastal island under the shadow of a family legend that supposedly dooms Santos women in love must confront what she’s been taught about fate and loyalty when she leaves home and then returns; caught between the sea-steeped folklore that shaped her family, the pull of a new romance that challenges the curse, and her own desire to choose her future, she navigates identity, community expectations, and the messy, beautiful possibilities of love and self-determination.
