Recommend from the Colección Bocaditos series that might fit better. Colección Bocaditos Series by Lorraine Cocó - Goodreads

The story follows Valentina, a woman who believes she is "cursed" when it comes to love. Her bad luck is rooted in her birth: she was born exactly one hour early, on February 13th (Singles' Day), narrowly missing Valentine's Day. After a lifetime of romantic failures, she has resigned herself to being one of Cupid’s "lost arrows".

If you enjoy the "unlucky in love" trope mixed with meddling-but-well-meaning supporting characters, this is a charming addition to Cocó’s extensive bibliography . It is particularly recommended for readers who want a feel-good romantic comedy without a heavy time commitment.
