Bianca is barely in her mid-20’s and she’s starting over - again. She’s new to D.C. when she has a chance meeting with Charlie Diaz and the sparks fly. If not for their palpable chemistry, she would have ignored him just like any other unattainable man she’s ever met. She knows her limits. He’s well-dressed and handsome. He’s educated and successful. What would someone like him want with her? It’s through the course of the pain they inflict on each other that she realizes, she really is in love. And it’s through the power of miscommunication that she’s able to admit it to herself…and him. The Charlie Diaz Syndrome is the first book from new author, Michelle Garcia. With well-written and relatable characters that take the reader on rollercoaster from beginning to end, the story moves swiftly and keeps the pages turning without lacking detail. Almost like a movie, the reader feels the story unfolding in front of them and the truth of the syndrome is exposed. Sometimes, people aren’t who they say they are. Sometimes, even you aren’t who you thought you were. Sometimes, it’s the things we don’t say that hurt the most.
