Cuban-American Camila Nuñez has always been afraid of the future. Maybe it's because her mami seems to make worrying about her a full-time job or because she’s uncomfortable in her own skin. But whatever the cause, she can’t seem to shake her anxiety and panic attacks. So when Camila's best friend gives her a tarot card reading for her birthday, she believes it when the cards portend terrible things to come. As the year unfolds, the cards seem to be spot on—is her papi having an affair? Will her best friend’s love life tank their friendship? Is her new, nonbinary love interest going to break her heart like the girl in Miami did?Whether she likes it or not, Camila is forced to reckon with all the ways her fear about the future is ruining her life, and what it will really take to get back on track.

Characters-10 Camila was a great character! I enjoyed her personality, and I connected with her in a few ways. The supporting cast is fun, and keeps the reader engaged in the story. Camilia’s best friend Cindy was the opposite of Camila in terms of personality, and they had a fun dynamic as best friends. Family plays a big role in this story, and the family dynamic was great because we don’t get a lot of stories with Grandparents. Devon was a fantastic character, and I loved their relationship with Camila. The love the characters have for food and Cuban culture is fantastic. Setting-10 I enjoyed the setting of this book. I find that with books I want to see the character’s lives, not just school, or home lives, but the ships around their town, and where they spend their time when they’re not at school or home. Miriam Zoila Perez does a great job bringing us to the town in North Carolina, and Miami for a bit. I loved the coffee shops and other shop owners that were around in this story. Writing-10 Miriam Zoila Perez is a fantastic writer. This story had a lot of humor and heart, which I loved. Camila Nunez’s Year of Disasters was easy to read, and I was hooked from the beginning because of its writing style. Plot-9 This book had a fun plot to follow. There was a tarot element that was a fun edition of the story. A lot of this story was following Camila’s journey over the course of a year, and I found it a great story to follow. Camila Nunez’s Year of Disasters had a lot of smaller points in the story which was fun and kept me engaged while reading. Enjoyment-9 I’m glad I read this because I had a great time while reading. I thought the characters were great, and the story had a combination of fun and heartwarming moments throughout.
