“The Cuban Girl’s Guide series began with A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow in 2020 and quickly found an audience among YA readers looking for heartfelt stories with cultural depth. The first book follows Lila Reyes, a Miami teen sent to a small English village to recover from heartbreak, where she unexpectedly finds both purpose and romance.”
A British Girl’s Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak arrived in 2023 as a companion novel. The series is built around Cuban American characters navigating their cultural identities in unfamiliar settings, and the contrast between Latin Miami and the English countryside gives the stories a distinctive flavor. Namey writes romance that is grounded in specific cultural experiences, which sets these books apart from more generic YA love stories.
